What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Bath re-enamelling in New Seaham, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and a coloured bath you want in white.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Never use suction bath mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in New Seaham
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Stains that will not shift
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Several chips and rust patches
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Repairing versus replacing in New Seaham
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Colour-matched on site
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- A fixed quote before you book
- Generally one visit, start to finish
See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Questions from New Seaham
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath split right through the body
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
