About our bath re-enamelling in Abington Vale
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and worn patches where water runs and sits.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Questions from Abington Vale
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
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 you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northamptonshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Abington Vale. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
