Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in New Coundon, County Durham
Bath re-enamelling in and around New Coundon: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you’re dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help, whatever the material.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Store bottles off the bath
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
