What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

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

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.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your HU5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from Newland

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Are there extra charges for Newland?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you come to Newland?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Newland. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

When to call us in Newland

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How to look after the finish

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Newland?

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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
