Bath re-enamelling in Esh, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Esh. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Esh, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
FAQs for Esh
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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 won’t last.
Repair or replace in Esh?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Landlord and trade work in Esh
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Esh as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
