What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What affects the price in Newton Downs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
FAQs for Newton Downs
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PL8 postcode.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Repair or replace in Newton Downs?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Newton Downs
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Several chips and rust patches
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
