How we handle bath re-enamelling in Daventry

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and several chips and rust patches, we can normally put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Daventry. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Daventry, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

FAQs for Daventry

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Which areas do you work in?

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

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you come to Daventry?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Daventry from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
