Bath re-enamelling in Forthampton, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you’re dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can generally put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths

What affects the price in Forthampton
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Forthampton. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Forthampton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
