Bath re-enamelling in Harbottle, done in place
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and worn patches where water runs and sits, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northumberland.

- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Harbottle questions
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Harbottle. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
