Bath re-enamelling in Newton

About our bath re-enamelling in Newton

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are an old resurfacing that’s failing and worn patches where water runs and sits.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newton

If you manage property in Newton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Newton

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

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

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before booking

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
