Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Newtown Common, West Berkshire
Our technicians come to Newtown Common for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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 won’t last.
Bath re-enamelling in Newtown Common without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We’re often asked to fix an old resurfacing that’s failing and a coloured bath you want in white, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Berkshire.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a full day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Repair dripping taps early
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Newtown Common
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Thin, worn enamel in places

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath that is rusted through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
