If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Questions to ask before booking

Bath re-enamelling in Newman's End without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you’re dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can typically put it right, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Have chips seen to early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace in Newman's End?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Newman's End
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CM17 postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
