What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Store bottles off the bath
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sheepwash as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Sheepwash. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack

Questions from Sheepwash
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you cover Sheepwash?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Sheepwash and the rest of Northumberland. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
