About our bath re-enamelling in New Town
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We are frequently asked to fix stains that won’t shift and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- 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 generally be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Common questions in New Town
Are there extra charges for New Town?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
What affects the price in New Town
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Colour-matched on site
- We leave the room as we found it
- Everything repaired in place
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
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’s what we repair.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Town use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
