How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Bath re-enamelling in Middlesbrough without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Middlesbrough as everywhere else we work.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. 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 resurfacing gives them a new life.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Middlesbrough, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on

Questions from Middlesbrough
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Middlesbrough
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
