Bath re-enamelling in Great Burdon, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and chips and rust in more than one place.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Burdon as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Questions from Great Burdon
Do you cover the whole of Darlington?
The whole UK, including all of Darlington. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Does someone need to be in?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Great Burdon?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can I get a quote without a visit?

Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
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.
