What affects the price in Newnham
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. 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.
Common problems we fix in Newnham
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

FAQs for Newnham
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Newnham?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you cover Newnham?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Newnham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
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.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
