Our hiring checklist

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Badby

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Badby

Do you cover Badby?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Badby and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you cover the entire of Northamptonshire?

The whole UK, including all of Northamptonshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NN11 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Should you replace it?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One price list for the entire UK

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
