When we would advise against a repair

- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Bath re-enamelling in Old Newton without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and wear marks under the taps, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Old Newton: your questions answered
Do you work in Old Newton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Old Newton and the rest of Suffolk. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Are there extra charges for Old Newton?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Common problems we fix in Old Newton
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Before you book anyone

- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Old Newton. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
