Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ryton
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include a coloured bath you want in white and stains that won’t shift, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

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, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Landlord and trade work in Ryton
For anyone letting property in or around Ryton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops

Why repair rather than replace?

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ryton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
