Bath re-enamelling at your home in Saltburn-by-the-Sea
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are worn patches where water runs and sits and a coloured bath you want in white.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
FAQs for Saltburn-by-the-Sea
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Saltburn-by-the-Sea. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Are there extra charges for Saltburn-by-the-Sea?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What affects the price in Saltburn-by-the-Sea
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

What else we do in Saltburn-by-the-Sea
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Repair or replace in Saltburn-by-the-Sea?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
