Bath re-enamelling in High Newton-by-the-Sea without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and chips and rust in more than one place.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Common questions in High Newton-by-the-Sea
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 do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you cover the whole of Northumberland?
All of Northumberland, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
What happens on the day
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’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in High Newton-by-the-Sea
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Common problems we fix in High Newton-by-the-Sea
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A roll-top that is seen better days
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
