Trusted bath re-enamelling in Newchapel

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Newchapel, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Newchapel

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. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can normally put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Common problems we fix in Newchapel

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Have chips seen to early

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Newchapel

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Newchapel. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your RH7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Newchapel

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you cover Newchapel?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Newchapel. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Will the new finish last?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
