Bath re-enamelling in Newby, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newby

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Why repair rather than replace?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Newby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Newby questions

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Newby. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
