Common questions in Newpound Common
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Newpound Common. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most clients in Newpound Common get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Newpound Common?
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
