Bath re-enamelling near Newlay

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site

About our bath re-enamelling in Newlay

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Newlay as everywhere else we work.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Newlay, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Newlay: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

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

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How soon can you come?

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

Can I fix it myself?

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

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Newlay

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

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Newlay. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Newlay, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
