Bath re-enamelling in Newbridge

Newbridge: your questions answered

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Newbridge

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We’re often asked to fix stains that won’t shift and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take most of the day.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply 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 day after.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

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’ll get a fixed figure back.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Newbridge. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Newbridge customers choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Newbridge?

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

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

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
