Repair or replace in Newmill?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Newmill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

- A year’s guarantee on all work
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- No need to remove anything

Bath re-enamelling in Newmill without replacing anything
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include a coloured bath you want in white and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Questions from Newmill
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newmill
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newmill use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

The process

- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
