About our bath re-enamelling in Newbury
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and a coating lifting around the plughole.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newbury
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
FAQs for Newbury
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a full day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Newbury?
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
Look out for any of the following:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Aftercare advice

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
