How we handle bath re-enamelling in Newton St Cyres
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and thin, worn enamel in places, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What affects the price in Newton St Cyres
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Newton St Cyres
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Look out for these signs:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
FAQs for Newton St Cyres
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
