What affects the price in Newton

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Newton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you’re in Newton and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should you replace it?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Newton?

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • How to look after the finish
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
