How we handle bath re-enamelling in Newtown

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cheshire West and Chester.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Newtown. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Newtown questions
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you come to Newtown?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Newtown. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
