How we handle bath re-enamelling in Slaley
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are worn patches where water runs and sits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What else we do in Slaley
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
FAQs for Slaley
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Slaley?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DE4 postcode.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Repair dripping taps early
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

When to call us in Slaley
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find more damage
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 generally cheaper.
What affects the price in Slaley
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
