Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

About our bath re-enamelling in Hexham

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and wear marks under the taps, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hexham?

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Hexham

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Northumberland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Common questions in Hexham

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Repairing versus replacing in Hexham

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour-matched on site

Read our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, tidy-up included.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
