Bath re-enamelling in Newtown, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. We’re frequently asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and wear marks under the taps, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Questions from Newtown
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Newtown.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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 photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Newtown
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays

When to call us in Newtown
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Newtown. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
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.
