Bath re-enamelling in Newmains without replacing anything

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Newmains

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newmains

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Newmains. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
