Bath re-enamelling near Newtown

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Newtown

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before you book

Bath re-enamelling in Newtown without replacing anything

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about an old resurfacing that’s failing and several chips and rust patches.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Newtown

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Are there extra charges for Newtown?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Should you replace it?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Newtown, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Newtown

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
