Bath re-enamelling in Great Corby without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Typical jobs include worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
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.
Landlord and trade work in Great Corby
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath that is rusted through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a full day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
What affects the price in Great Corby
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Great Corby?
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Several chips and rust patches
- Wear marks under the taps
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price covers travel
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Great Corby: your questions answered
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
