What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we’re called out for in Newbold Heath

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Wear marks under the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

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 also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newbold Heath

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Common questions in Newbold Heath

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Newbold Heath?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body

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