Bath re-enamelling near Newthorpe

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Newthorpe

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Newthorpe as everywhere else we work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairs by material

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’s the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Common problems we fix in Newthorpe

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What affects the price in Newthorpe

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Newthorpe. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Questions from Newthorpe

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Newthorpe. Prices do not change with location.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you need to take the bath out?

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