Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ackleton
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and wear marks under the taps.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Ackleton
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
What affects the price in Ackleton
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Ackleton. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ackleton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Repairing versus replacing in Ackleton
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

When to call us in Ackleton
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Several chips and rust patches
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Comparing quotes
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Ackleton
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes most of the day in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
