Bath re-enamelling at your home in Shotley Bridge
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We are often asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and stains that won’t shift, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

What else we do in Shotley Bridge
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
FAQs for Shotley Bridge
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Are there extra charges for Shotley Bridge?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Shotley Bridge.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Shotley Bridge
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
