Bath re-enamelling at your home in Blakesley

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. If you are dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Blakesley

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Holes rusted through the metal

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Blakesley

Do you work in Blakesley?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Blakesley and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Blakesley?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens after I send pictures?

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Repairing versus replacing in Blakesley

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blakesley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
