Damaged bath in New Inn? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Bath re-enamelling at your home in New Inn
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can generally put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
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 you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlords, agents and businesses in New Inn
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in New Inn
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
