How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
When to call us in Hamsterley
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Before booking anyone

- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a full day.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common questions in Hamsterley
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you work in Hamsterley?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hamsterley and the rest of Gateshead. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hamsterley as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
