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. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Killingworth and across North Tyneside.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Killingworth questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is my repair covered?

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

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Killingworth?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Why repair rather than replace?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our pricing or bath cost comparison.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Landlord and trade work in Killingworth

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Killingworth?

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Killingworth

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
