How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about chips and rust in more than one place and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the price in Howden-le-Wear

- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
