Bath re-enamelling in Clipston

Bath re-enamelling in Clipston without replacing anything

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We’re often asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Choosing a repair company

Clipston: your questions answered

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Clipston.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover Clipston?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Clipston and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What affects the price in Clipston

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Clipston. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Northamptonshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Clipston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

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.
