Bath re-enamelling at your home in Egglescliffe
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can normally put it right, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Egglescliffe
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price

When to call us in Egglescliffe
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A coloured bath you want in white
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Common questions in Egglescliffe
Is there a guarantee?

Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will the price change on the day?

Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
