Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Longhoughton, Northumberland
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Longhoughton, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Longhoughton
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We are often asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and stains that won’t shift, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Longhoughton. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use 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.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Longhoughton?
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Customers normally contact us about:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An old resurfacing that’s failing

When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that is rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What else we do in Longhoughton
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
