Bath re-enamelling in Newtyle

About our bath re-enamelling in Newtyle

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and lots of chips and rust spots.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Never use suction bath mats

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place

Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Common problems we fix in Newtyle

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Wear marks under the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • Aftercare advice

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Newtyle. Prices do not change with location.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newtyle

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Perth and Kinross and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in Newtyle, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
