Bath re-enamelling in Haydon Bridge without replacing anything

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

10 questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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’s what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our full price list and bath cost comparison.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Haydon Bridge

Are there extra charges for Haydon Bridge?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
