Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Common questions in Newtown Unthank
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Newtown Unthank?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Newtown Unthank
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- What preparation is included
- How long it needs to cure
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
