Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Bath re-enamelling in Jesmond without replacing anything

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We are often asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and worn patches where water runs and sits, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

When to call us in Jesmond

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

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’s the part we put right.

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Jesmond. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Landlords, agents and businesses in Jesmond

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What affects the price in Jesmond

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Jesmond. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
