How we handle bath re-enamelling in Greatworth

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Greatworth and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A bath split right through the body
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Greatworth

Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before booking

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Greatworth: your questions answered

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

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.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you come to Greatworth?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Greatworth

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  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

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
