Landlord and trade work in Longbenton
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Longbenton
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Longbenton questions
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically 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
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Longbenton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repairing versus replacing in Longbenton
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Longbenton
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
