Bath re-enamelling in Heddon-on-the-Wall, done in place

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. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and lots of chips and rust spots.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Common questions in Heddon-on-the-Wall

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Heddon-on-the-Wall?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Newcastle upon Tyne.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Newcastle upon Tyne and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Repairing versus replacing in Heddon-on-the-Wall

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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 usually the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
