Bath re-enamelling in Great Stainton without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Stainton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Stainton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
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.

Common questions in Great Stainton
Do you come to Great Stainton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Great Stainton and the rest of County Durham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Great Stainton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store bottles off the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
