About our bath re-enamelling in Gatesheath
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. We are often asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Gatesheath
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What affects the price in Gatesheath
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Gatesheath. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Gatesheath
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
