Bath re-enamelling for Newhall homes

Bath re-enamelling in Newhall without replacing anything

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about an old resurfacing that’s failing and wear marks under the taps.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Common questions in Newhall

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Newhall is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

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

How to look after the repair

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

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Newhall. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we are called out for in Newhall

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Wear marks under the taps

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.
