What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in West Denton

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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 the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

FAQs for West Denton

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you hold any accreditations?

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  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 until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Prices and what affects them

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NE5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in West Denton

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
