Bath re-enamelling in Newbiggin without replacing anything
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Newbiggin?
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What affects the price in Newbiggin
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Newbiggin. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store bottles off the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
