Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Newark-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire
We travel to Newark-on-Trent for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350

The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full 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.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Newark-on-Trent
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and stains that won’t shift, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

What else we do in Newark-on-Trent
What we are called out for in Newark-on-Trent
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Clients normally contact us about:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Several chips and rust patches
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What affects the price in Newark-on-Trent
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot 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 is the part we put right.
FAQs for Newark-on-Trent
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Newark-on-Trent?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NG24 postcode.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Nottinghamshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have chips seen to early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
