Bath re-enamelling in Newbank, done in place

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an outdated colour you’d like to change, in basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repairing versus replacing in Newbank

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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 will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

FAQs for Newbank

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
