When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Evenwood
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and staining under the taps and around the waste.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Evenwood
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Our work in Evenwood
Evenwood is about 4 miles south-west of Bishop Auckland, in County Durham. Our work suits any type of property, old or new, large or small, as well as offices, shops and holiday lets. Evenwood is one of 329 places in County Durham we cover. We work right across the region, from Evenwood to Newcastle upon Tyne (about 26 miles away).
Jobs in DL14 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. We regularly work on streets such as South View, Manor Street and Chapel Street and the roads around them. We also travel to Evenwood Gate (1 mile south-east), Ramshaw (1 mile north), West Auckland (2 miles north-east), Toft Hill (2 miles north) and High Etherley (2 miles north). Further out, we also cover Durham (13 miles north-east), Newton Aycliffe (7 miles east), Bishop Auckland (4 miles north-east), Spennymoor (8 miles north-east), Shildon (5 miles east) and Crook (6 miles north).
Around Evenwood
Around Evenwood, we work in homes near Evenwood CofE Primary School, Bridge Inn and St Paul, among other places. Evenwood’s nearest station is Bishop Auckland station, roughly 4.2 miles north-east. Further afield, we also cover the area around Bishop Auckland Hospital (4.1 miles north-east) and Raby Castle (2.6 miles south-west).
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Evenwood as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Other services in Evenwood
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Common questions in Evenwood
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Evenwood is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Are there extra charges for Evenwood?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
