DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
FAQs for Fatfield
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Repair or replace in Fatfield?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NE38 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
When to call us in Fatfield
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Common reasons people in Fatfield contact us are:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How to look after the finish
- How long it needs to cure
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Fatfield
- Victorian roll-tops

- Cast iron baths
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
