Bath re-enamelling in Foxton

Bath re-enamelling in Foxton, done in place

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and a coloured bath you want in white.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Common questions in Foxton

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Foxton?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

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

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out.

Do you work in Foxton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Foxton and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Common problems we fix in Foxton

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Foxton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
