Bath re-enamelling at your home in Houghton
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a coloured bath you want in white and wear marks under the taps.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Houghton as everywhere else we work.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
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.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Houghton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- 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
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Houghton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
