About our bath re-enamelling in Heaton
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We are frequently asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a roll-top that’s seen better days, in basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Questions from Heaton
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you come to Heaton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Heaton for every job, 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 price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Newcastle upon Tyne. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Have chips seen to early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

When to call us in Heaton
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A coloured bath you want in white

- How soon you can use it again
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
