Bath re-enamelling in Newsbank

Bath re-enamelling in Newsbank without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Newsbank

  • Pressed steel baths

Repair or replace: which is better?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

FAQs for Newsbank

Does re-enamelling smell?

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

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Are you accredited?

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

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Common problems we fix in Newsbank

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newsbank

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

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.
