Bath re-enamelling in Newland

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Newland?

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before you book

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Newland

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you are dealing with several chips and rust patches and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Questions from Newland

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Are there extra charges for Newland?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

What we work on

  • Cast iron baths

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Newland. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price
