When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath normally 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. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for North Street. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Same prices wherever you are

North Street: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
