About our bath re-enamelling in New Hutton
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you’re dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can usually put it right, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

FAQs for New Hutton
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do you work in New Hutton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to New Hutton. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take most of the day, tidy-up included.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in New Hutton
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Wear marks under the taps
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in New Hutton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
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.
Landlord and trade work in New Hutton
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Hutton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
