Bath re-enamelling in Newbridge without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Should you replace it?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Newbridge

Common questions in Newbridge

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Are there extra charges for Newbridge?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Newbridge.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
