Landlords, agents and businesses in Newtown

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Newtown, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Newtown

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and thin, worn enamel in places.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colour-matched on site

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

FAQs for Newtown

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

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.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
