How we handle bath re-enamelling in School Aycliffe
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Avoid suction-cup mats
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit

Questions from School Aycliffe
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you work in School Aycliffe?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to School Aycliffe and the rest of County Durham. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in School Aycliffe.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
