Book bath re-enamelling in Ingoe

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a full day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

About our bath re-enamelling in Ingoe

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and several chips and rust patches.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Ingoe

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ingoe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

What we’re called out for in Ingoe

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

10 questions to ask before booking

Questions from Ingoe

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Ingoe?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NE20 postcode.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northumberland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Holes rusted through the metal

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
