Common questions in Quarrington Hill
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
We work UK-wide, so Quarrington Hill is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
About our bath re-enamelling in Quarrington Hill
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and a coating lifting around the plughole, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham.

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays

Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- No extra charge for your area
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

What we’re called out for in Quarrington Hill
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Stains that won’t shift
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Wear marks under the taps
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Aftercare advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
