Bath re-enamelling in Gosforth without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
