Archdeacon Newton: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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 several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Landlord and trade work in Archdeacon Newton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Have chips seen to early
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
