Howdon questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Howdon?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
About our bath re-enamelling in Howdon
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Howdon
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
For a price in Howdon, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
