Bath re-enamelling in Seaton Burn, done in place
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. We’re frequently asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common problems we fix in Seaton Burn
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Several chips and rust patches
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What preparation is included
- Who will actually do the work
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Common questions in Seaton Burn
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Newcastle upon Tyne.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in Seaton Burn get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- 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 until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage

What else we do in Seaton Burn
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
