About our bath re-enamelling in Kielder
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What else we do in Kielder
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Kielder. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath
If you are in Kielder and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Common questions in Kielder
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Northumberland.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Kielder
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Wear marks under the taps
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Before you book anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- Aftercare advice
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price covers travel
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
