How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath that’s rusted through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Low Walker.

What areas do you cover?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Low Walker and the rest of Newcastle upon Tyne. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Low Walker. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
