We’re frequently asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and several chips and rust patches, across acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

South Newton: your questions answered
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Common problems we fix in South Newton
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for South Newton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
