How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.

Newfoundpool: your questions answered
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work in Newfoundpool?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Newfoundpool from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your LE3 postcode.
When to call us in Newfoundpool
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Wear marks under the taps
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What affects the price in Newfoundpool
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Newfoundpool. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Landlords, agents and businesses in Newfoundpool
Letting agents frequently 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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
