How we handle bath re-enamelling in Throckley
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and wear marks under the taps, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Throckley and across Newcastle upon Tyne.

Landlord and trade work in Throckley
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Throckley as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Throckley questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
