Bath re-enamelling near Wallsend

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Wallsend, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Bath re-enamelling in Wallsend, done in place

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about stains that won’t shift and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Wallsend

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Take a look at our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wallsend use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Wallsend

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you cover Wallsend?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Wallsend for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

When to call us in Wallsend

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How to look after the finish
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
