How we handle bath re-enamelling in Walkergate
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and worn patches where water runs and sits, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Walkergate and across Newcastle upon Tyne.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Most clients in Walkergate get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common problems we fix in Walkergate
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Look out for any of the following:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Wear marks under the taps
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Common questions in Walkergate
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What affects the price in Walkergate
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NE6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
