Need bath re-enamelling in Newton?

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Newton

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and an outdated colour you’d like to change, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derbyshire.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Repair dripping taps early

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

What affects the price in Newton

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Newton: your questions answered

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. 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.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What we do, step by step

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

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
