Trusted bath re-enamelling in Newtonhill

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Newtonhill

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an old resurfacing that’s failing and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Newtonhill, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Newtonhill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Newtonhill customers choose us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Newtonhill. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

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 is what we repair.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
