Bath re-enamelling near Newbiggin

Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Newbiggin

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Have chips seen to early

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

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.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Newbiggin

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Newbiggin and the rest of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Newbiggin?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
