Bath re-enamelling at your home in Sandwith Newtown
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coloured bath you want in white.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Sandwith Newtown and across Cumbria.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Sandwith Newtown questions
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are there extra charges for Sandwith Newtown?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Sandwith Newtown
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sandwith Newtown as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
