Landlord and trade work in Newtown
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newtown use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Bath re-enamelling in Newtown, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a roll-top that’s seen better days, across basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Newtown and across Birmingham.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Newtown. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow the best part of a day.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
If you are in Newtown and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Common questions in Newtown
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with 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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Repairing versus replacing in Newtown
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Newtown. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
