Trusted bath re-enamelling in Tynemouth

Landlord and trade work in Tynemouth

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Bath re-enamelling in Tynemouth without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We are frequently asked to fix several chips and rust patches and stains that won’t shift, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Tynemouth

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common problems we fix in Tynemouth

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Questions from Tynemouth

Which areas do you work in?

All of North Tyneside, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Tynemouth?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NE29 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
