Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Eldon. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Bath re-enamelling in Eldon without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Common problems we fix in Eldon
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Look out for these signs:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Stains that won’t shift
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coloured bath you want in white
Questions to ask before you book

- Whether the price covers travel
- When it can be used again

Eldon questions
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
The entire UK, including all of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
