DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Gateshead Fell
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Gateshead Fell
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
What affects the price in Gateshead Fell
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- 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 next day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
