Bath re-enamelling in Newbold Astbury, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow most of the day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Newbold Astbury questions
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Newbold Astbury?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Newbold Astbury. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths

- Pressed steel baths
Landlord and trade work in Newbold Astbury
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
