Bath Re-enamelling in Southburn
Bath re-enamelling across Southburn and nearby, generally in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Several chips and rust patches
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Bath re-enamelling in Southburn without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about lots of chips and rust spots and a coating lifting around the plughole.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What else we do in Southburn
Should you replace it?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

- One-year guarantee on every repair
- A fixed quote before you book
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have chips seen to early
- Respect the curing time we give you
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.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Southburn
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Stains that won’t shift
- Several chips and rust patches
- A roll-top that is seen better days

Common questions in Southburn
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you cover Southburn?
We do. We send a technician to Southburn for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Southburn included. Travel is included in the price.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
