About our bath re-enamelling in Shotley
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Questions from Shotley
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Shotley?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your IP9 postcode.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Shotley included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work in Shotley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Shotley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Never use suction bath mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Landlord and trade work in Shotley
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Shotley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day. We leave the room clean.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Shotley
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
When to call us in Shotley
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Common reasons people in Shotley contact us include:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Questions to ask before booking
- Aftercare advice
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
