How we handle bath re-enamelling in Newlands
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you are dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and chips and rust in more than one place, we can usually put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Newlands?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

- What aftercare is recommended
- What prep work is covered
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Newlands. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Newlands. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
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 typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
