Bath re-enamelling at your home in Nethergate
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and chips and rust in more than one place, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Nethergate
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Nethergate, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Nethergate. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

FAQs for Nethergate
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles off the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Repair dripping taps early
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
