How we handle bath re-enamelling in Netherhope
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace in Netherhope?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good.

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Questions from Netherhope
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are there extra charges for Netherhope?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
