Landlords, agents and businesses in New Inn

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Inn use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairs by material

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.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

New Inn: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you cover the whole of Torfaen?

We cover the entire UK, including New Inn and the rest of Torfaen. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your photos

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

Choosing a repair company

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
