Trusted bath re-enamelling in Hazlerigg

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

About our bath re-enamelling in Hazlerigg

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Newcastle upon Tyne.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NE13 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Hazlerigg. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What we are called out for in Hazlerigg

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath split right through the body

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
