Bath re-enamelling at your home in Seaburn Dene
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you are dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and stains that won’t shift, we can usually put it right, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Seaburn Dene questions
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Seaburn Dene?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
