Bath re-enamelling at your home in Newtown
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Newtown. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CF10 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Repair dripping taps early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newtown
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
