Bath re-enamelling for Newsome homes

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  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 day after, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Newsome

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coating lifting around the plughole, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Newsome and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

FAQs for Newsome

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Will there be fumes?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Never use suction bath mats

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t 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.

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Newsome

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repair or replace in Newsome?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
