Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repairing versus replacing in Newton Aycliffe
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Newton Aycliffe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Newton Aycliffe?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How soon you can use it again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Common questions in Newton Aycliffe
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across County Durham.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Are there extra charges for Newton Aycliffe?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
