Bath re-enamelling near Grendon

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Grendon

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A bath split right through the body
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Grendon. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NN7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Grendon

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What areas do you cover?

All of Northamptonshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you cover Grendon?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Grendon. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Why repair rather than replace?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
