About our bath re-enamelling in North Hylton
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include several chips and rust patches and stains that won’t shift, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Common questions in North Hylton
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What else we do in North Hylton
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in North Hylton?
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Stains that will not shift
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
