DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cold Newton
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and a coating lifting around the plughole.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Cold Newton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Common problems we fix in Cold Newton
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Stains that will not shift
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Before booking anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow most of the day.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: 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 quote, not a guess.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Landlord and trade work in Cold Newton
If you manage property in Cold Newton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths

Questions from Cold Newton
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How do I book?

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
