Bath re-enamelling in Newton, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath that is rusted through
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repairing versus replacing in Newton
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Questions from Newton
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you come to Newton?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Newton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Newton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
If you are in Newton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Can I fix it myself?
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
