Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
When to call us in Haswell
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Customers normally contact us about:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How soon you can use it again
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Questions from Haswell
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Haswell?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What areas do you cover?
All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you cover Haswell?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Haswell from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Haswell, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
