What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Newbridge
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you’re dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Questions from Newbridge
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Isle of Wight, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. 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.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Newbridge?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

- How to care for the finish
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How changes to the job are handled
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Repair dripping taps early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
