- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Bath re-enamelling in Newcraighall without replacing anything
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can generally put it right, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Newcraighall: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

What affects the price in Newcraighall
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Newcraighall. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- 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 will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
