How we handle bath re-enamelling in Newby
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Have chips seen to early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Newby?
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.

- Open a window if you can

Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Newby
