When to call us in New Smithy
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Several chips and rust patches
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Bath re-enamelling at your home in New Smithy
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and chips and rust in more than one place, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in New Smithy
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
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.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What affects the price in New Smithy
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Get a quote
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in New Smithy
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
