Bath re-enamelling in Elswick without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Questions from Elswick
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Elswick?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Elswick
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repairing versus replacing in Elswick
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- One price list for the entire UK
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- One visit for most repairs
- Everything repaired in place

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
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.
What affects the price in Elswick
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Elswick?
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Questions to ask before booking
- Aftercare advice
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
