About our bath re-enamelling in Great Orton
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and chips and rust in more than one place.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Questions from Great Orton
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Great Orton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Great Orton?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CA5 postcode.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Repair or replace in Great Orton?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Orton
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.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Great Orton
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Stains that won’t shift
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coloured bath you want in white
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
