Bath re-enamelling in Newbiggin, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Newcastle upon Tyne.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

FAQs for Newbiggin
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Newbiggin?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Newbiggin. Prices do not change with location.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you work in Newbiggin?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Newbiggin. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What affects the price in Newbiggin
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Newbiggin. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Common problems we fix in Newbiggin
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Stains that won’t shift

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
