Bath re-enamelling in Simonburn without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and a coloured bath you want in white, in basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Simonburn questions
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Simonburn?
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Look out for any of the following:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Aftercare advice
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northumberland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
What affects the price in Simonburn
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most customers in Simonburn 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.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Same prices wherever you are
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Simonburn
