Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Bath re-enamelling in Escomb, done in place

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can usually put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Escomb. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Never use suction bath mats
Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Escomb

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

How much damage there is
Unusual colours or finishes
The material
Doing more than one item at once

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

A wider photo showing the entire bath
A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Natural light rather than flash
What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
