About our bath re-enamelling in Spittal

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Spittal and across Northumberland.

Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

Spittal: your questions answered
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover Spittal?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Spittal and the rest of Northumberland. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Spittal?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Customers normally contact us about:
- A coating lifting around the plughole

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Spittal. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Spittal. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Give the finish its full curing time before using the 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 and makes resurfacing more work.
