Bath re-enamelling at your home in Kettering
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and a coloured bath you want in white, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Kettering and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairing versus replacing in Kettering
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
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
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Questions from Kettering
Do you cover the whole of Northamptonshire?
Across the UK, and that includes Kettering. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Never use suction bath mats
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Common problems we fix in Kettering
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Wear marks under the taps
