Bath re-enamelling in Newbigging, done in place
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We are often asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and lots of chips and rust spots, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you’re in Newbigging and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repairing versus replacing in Newbigging
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Newbigging
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
