Bath re-enamelling in Newent

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most clients in Newent get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Newent

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coloured bath you want in white, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Landlord and trade work in Newent

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newent use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

What we are called out for in Newent

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before booking

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
