About our bath re-enamelling in Newbury

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. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

FAQs for Newbury

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Newbury?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Newbury. Prices do not change with location.

How soon can you come?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Never use suction bath mats

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What affects the price in Newbury

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most clients in Newbury get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Repairing versus replacing in Newbury

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
