For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Northamptonshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Bath re-enamelling in Kelmarsh without replacing anything
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. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- Typically one visit, start to finish
- One price list for the whole UK

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Kelmarsh: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Kelmarsh?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kelmarsh?
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Stains that won’t shift
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- How your room will be protected
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Kelmarsh
