Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Newbridge Drive
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Newbridge Drive: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you cover Newbridge Drive?
We do. Technicians travel to Newbridge Drive from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Repair or replace in Newbridge Drive?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Newbridge Drive. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- A bath that is rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Newbridge Drive
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newbridge Drive use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
