Far Cotton questions
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
What areas do you cover?
All of Northamptonshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Bath re-enamelling in Far Cotton, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coating lifting around the plughole.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Far Cotton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
