About our bath re-enamelling in Astrop
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coating lifting around the plughole.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What affects the price in Astrop
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Astrop. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Common questions in Astrop

Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
For a price in Astrop, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Work done at your home or business
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
For landlords and businesses
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 is easier on the people living there.
