Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including North Gosforth. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in North Gosforth use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
North Gosforth questions
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in North Gosforth?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your NE3 postcode.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you work in North Gosforth?
We do. Repair technicians travel to North Gosforth from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in North Gosforth?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in North Gosforth

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
