About our bath re-enamelling in Bishpool
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coating lifting around the plughole, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Newport.

Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

When to call us in Bishpool
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Wear marks under the taps
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What aftercare is recommended

What else we do in Bishpool
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What affects the price in Bishpool
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Bishpool, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Questions from Bishpool
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you come to Bishpool?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bishpool and the rest of Newport. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
