About our bath re-enamelling in Felling
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you’re dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Felling
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
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.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NE10 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
