Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. 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 upon Derwent

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How your room will be protected

  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newton upon Derwent

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Newton upon Derwent questions

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

How soon can you come?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is repairing better than replacing?
