How we handle bath re-enamelling in Newsholme
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and a coloured bath you want in white, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths

Common problems we fix in Newsholme
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Wear marks under the taps
