Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

FAQs for Sherburn House
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do you cover Sherburn House?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Sherburn House and the rest of County Durham. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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.

What we are called out for in Sherburn House
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Several chips and rust patches
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A coloured bath you want in white
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What prep work is covered
- When it can be used again
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
