Related advice
Bath re-enamelling in Newtown without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in Newtown
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Are there extra charges for Newtown?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Newtown.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
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.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Thin, worn enamel in places

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
