Bath re-enamelling in Long Newton, done in place
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have chips seen to early
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Repair dripping taps early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Will the bath be moved?

What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Long Newton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When to call us in Long Newton
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- Wear marks under the taps
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Several chips and rust patches

What we do, step by step

- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath split right through the body
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
