Getting a price from pictures

- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back

Bath re-enamelling in Islip, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can normally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When to call us in Islip
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northamptonshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Islip questions
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you come to Islip?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Islip and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
