Bath Re-enamelling for Alway homes
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing for homes and businesses in Alway and across Newport. Send photos for a free, fixed quote.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coating lifting around the plughole
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Bath re-enamelling in Alway without replacing anything
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can help, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Alway as everywhere else we work.

Common problems we fix in Alway
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- If travel is included in the price
- How the colour is matched
- How the room is protected while they work
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a full day.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NP19 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Alway
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you cover the whole of Newport?
We cover the entire UK, including Alway and the rest of Newport. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
