Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Newfield
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Newfield, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath that is rusted through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair

Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why Newfield clients choose us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One price list for the entire UK
- One-year guarantee on every repair

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. 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.

Common questions in Newfield
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Newfield?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Have chips seen to early
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
