Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour-matched on site

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Newton-le-Willows

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are wear marks under the taps and staining under the taps and around the waste.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

FAQs for Newton-le-Willows

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Newton-le-Willows and the rest of St Helens. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Newton-le-Willows?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Newton-le-Willows

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your WA12 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Newton-le-Willows

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

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

  • Stains that will not shift
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled

  • Who will actually do the work
