How we handle bath re-enamelling in Newgate Street
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and chips and rust in more than one place.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What else we do in Newgate Street
Common questions in Newgate Street
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Newgate Street?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SG13 postcode.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
