What affects the price in Thropton
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thropton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Thropton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Bath re-enamelling in Thropton, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We’re frequently asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northumberland.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Thropton
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Thropton?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Should you replace it?

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.

- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price

Advice
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows 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. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
What we are called out for in Thropton
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Stains that won’t shift
Before you book anyone
- How your room will be protected
- How long it needs to cure
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How changes to the job are handled

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
