Questions from Thornaby-on-Tees
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Thornaby-on-Tees
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We are frequently asked to fix enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and chips and rust in more than one place, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
What affects the price in Thornaby-on-Tees
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Thornaby-on-Tees. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Thornaby-on-Tees, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common problems we fix in Thornaby-on-Tees
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long it needs to cure
