Bath re-enamelling in Newtown

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Newtown

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We’re often asked to fix an old resurfacing that’s failing and thin, worn enamel in places, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Newtown. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Newtown, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Newtown

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you work in Newtown?

We do. We send a technician to Newtown for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Are there extra charges for Newtown?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newtown

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
