DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
About our bath re-enamelling in Norham Manor
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you’re dealing with wear marks under the taps and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can normally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Norham Manor
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Have chips seen to early
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

For anyone letting property in or around Norham Manor, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
