Bath re-enamelling in Newbourne without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. If you are dealing with several chips and rust patches and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Newbourne
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Common questions in Newbourne
Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Are there extra charges for Newbourne?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will the new finish last?
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.
How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Newbourne, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Have chips seen to early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Repair dripping taps early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
