Bath re-enamelling at your home in Newtongrange
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about lots of chips and rust spots and worn patches where water runs and sits.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Newtongrange
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Before you book anyone

- If travel is included in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- What prep work is covered
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Questions from Newtongrange
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Do you come to Newtongrange?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Newtongrange for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Read our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- The material
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
