How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lobley Hill
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We’re often asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Lobley Hill
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coloured bath you want in white

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Lobley Hill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Newcastle upon Tyne and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Lobley Hill
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Repairing versus replacing in Lobley Hill
Replacing the 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. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- No need to remove anything
- We leave the room as we found it
See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
