Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Ecton, Northamptonshire
Bath re-enamelling in and around Ecton: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Have chips seen to early
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
What affects the price in Ecton
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Ecton. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
If you are in Ecton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ecton?
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Common questions in Ecton
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are there extra charges for Ecton?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Ecton?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your NN6 postcode.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
