About our bath re-enamelling in South Hylton
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and several chips and rust patches, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

FAQs for South Hylton
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you cover South Hylton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to South Hylton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
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.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Have chips seen to early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
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.
