How we handle bath re-enamelling in New Mill End
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What affects the price in New Mill End
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in New Mill End
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- One visit for most repairs
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

For anyone letting property in or around New Mill End, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Common questions in New Mill End
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
