Bath re-enamelling in Mountsett without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
In a village like Mountsett, some baths have been in for many years. If the bath is sound, bath re-enamelling gives it a new lease of life.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Mountsett and across Gateshead.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays

- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Repairing versus replacing in Mountsett
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 also far quicker. Replacement in Mountsett means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.
Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring all our kit in the van, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work. Somewhere as small as Mountsett, access is generally the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- 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 until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Mountsett
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Have chips seen to early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Questions from Mountsett
Will you travel to Mountsett?
Of course; we work in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you restore the original baths in an older house in Mountsett?
In most cases: original pieces are frequently better made and harder to replace. Send photos and we will advise.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

What we’re called out for in Mountsett
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Chips and rust in more than one place
For older houses around Mountsett, near landmarks such as St James, an original cast iron or steel bath is worth keeping, and bath re-enamelling gives it years more use.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended
- How changes to the job are handled
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
