Bath re-enamelling in New Passage without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

New Passage questions
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, New Passage included. Travel is included in the price.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Repair or replace in New Passage?
A new 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 with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Places near New Passage
What else we do in New Passage
Do you need bath re-enamelling in New Passage?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An old resurfacing that is failing

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What affects the price in New Passage
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
