Bath re-enamelling near Newcastle upon Tyne

Bath re-enamelling in Newcastle upon Tyne, done in place

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you are dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can normally put it right, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Newcastle upon Tyne

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths

Landlord and trade work in Newcastle upon Tyne

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
