Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Holmside
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you’re dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham.

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Common problems we fix in Holmside
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Stains that will not shift
Before booking anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Have chips seen to early
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Questions from Holmside
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
Everywhere in the UK, Holmside included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you cover Holmside?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Holmside and the rest of County Durham. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Holmside?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- No extra charge for your area
- Colour mixed on the day to match

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
