About our bath re-enamelling in Otterburn
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We’re often asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we’re called out for in Otterburn
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A coating lifting around the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work
- How to care for the finish
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Common questions in Otterburn
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Otterburn. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace in Otterburn?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- Colour-matched on site
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- No extra charge for your area
See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Repair dripping taps early
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What else we do in Otterburn
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
