About our bath re-enamelling in Rothbury
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for wear marks under the taps and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Our work in Rothbury
Rothbury is about 13 miles north-west of Morpeth, in Northumberland. Anywhere in NE65, a technician comes to you. Rothbury is one of 189 towns and villages in Northumberland we cover. We work right across the region, from Rothbury to Newcastle upon Tyne (24 miles away).
Here we cover the NE65 postcode area. From Station Road, High Street and Riverside or a nearby road, we can come to you. Main roads around Rothbury include the B6341 and B6342, which makes travel easy.

Landmarks near Rothbury
In Rothbury, that means homes near Coquetvale Hotel, Church of All Saints and Rothbury First School and the streets around them. A little further out are Rothbury Community Hospital (within half a mile south-west) and Rothbury Urban District (less than half a mile north-west). Green spaces nearby include Rothbury Forest.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
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 just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Rothbury. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Northumberland.
Can you quote from photos?

What else we do in Rothbury
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Rothbury
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Before you book anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
