Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in High Etherley
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about stains that won’t shift and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

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, with the outside refinished as well.

- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in High Etherley?
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An old resurfacing that is failing
