What we’re called out for in Newbold

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Common reasons people in Newbold contact us are:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Newbold questions

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

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

Do you come to Newbold?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Newbold. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Newbold?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No need to remove anything

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

What affects the price in Newbold

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
