Repairing versus replacing in Hamsterley
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for most of the day. 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 prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hamsterley
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
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.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hamsterley
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across County Durham.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you come to Hamsterley?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hamsterley and the rest of County Durham. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hamsterley
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
