How we handle bath re-enamelling in New Kyo
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Common questions in New Kyo
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in New Kyo?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DH9 postcode.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What areas do you cover?
All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Landlord and trade work in New Kyo
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Kyo use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in New Kyo
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
Look out for any of the following:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Several chips and rust patches
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A bath that is rusted through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
