Bath re-enamelling in Newton Wood, done in place

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Common problems we fix in Newton Wood

Often the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Newton Wood

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Newton Wood. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Newton Wood

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

How long does re-enamelling last?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Newton Wood?

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

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

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

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
