FAQs for Newbold
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
About our bath re-enamelling in Newbold
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and several chips and rust patches.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newbold use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging 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.
Repair or replace in Newbold?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- Colour-matched on site
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No extra charge for your area

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
