What we’re called out for in New Lane

Common reasons people in New Lane contact us include:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

Bath re-enamelling in New Lane without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and chips and rust in more than one place, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in New Lane

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Work done at your home or business
- A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in New Lane
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Are there extra charges for New Lane?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
