Bath re-enamelling at your home in North Bitchburn
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and wear marks under the taps, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Questions from North Bitchburn
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of County Durham. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
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 our work is guaranteed for a year.
Are there extra charges for North Bitchburn?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Store bottles off the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Respect the curing time we give you
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
