Bath re-enamelling in Newport

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Newport

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. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repairing versus replacing in Newport

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A fixed quote before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish 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

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

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

When to call us in Newport

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Common reasons people in Newport contact us include:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to care for the finish
  • What prep work is covered

Newport questions

Do you cover the whole of Isle of Wight?

We cover the entire UK, including Newport and the rest of Isle of Wight. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What affects the price in Newport

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote.
