About our bath re-enamelling in Lesbury
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Lesbury and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Lesbury: your questions answered
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Lesbury?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your NE66 postcode.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you cover the whole of Northumberland?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Lesbury. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NE66 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths

When to call us in Lesbury
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Stains that won’t shift
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- How your room will be protected
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Have chips seen to early
- Repair dripping taps early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
