Newtown questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you work in Newtown?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Newtown. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Bath re-enamelling in Newtown, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about thin, worn enamel in places and a coloured bath you want in white.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Staffordshire.

Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
What affects the price in Newtown
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Newtown. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that is rusted through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
