Common problems we fix in Newcastle
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- Stains that won’t shift
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Thin, worn enamel in places

What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
What affects the price in Newcastle
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Newcastle. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
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.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Newcastle
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace in Newcastle?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
