Bath re-enamelling near Newlands

Bath re-enamelling in Newlands, done in place

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a coloured bath you want in white.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Newlands?

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Newlands questions

Do you cover Newlands?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Newlands from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newlands

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newlands as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Repair or replace in Newlands?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
