Bath Re-enamelling in Phoenix Row
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Phoenix Row, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Phoenix Row
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you’re dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Phoenix Row: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What affects the price in Phoenix Row
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Phoenix Row. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Phoenix Row, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath split right through the body
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

- A roll-top that is seen better days
