DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Bath re-enamelling in Pickering Nook, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Pickering Nook: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
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 do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Pickering Nook and the rest of Gateshead. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
If you’re in Pickering Nook and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Store bottles off the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Repair or replace in Pickering Nook?

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Pickering Nook?
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Look out for any of the following:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Before booking anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
