Bath Re-enamelling in Kingsthorpe
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Kingsthorpe, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coloured bath you want in white
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Kingsthorpe
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and a coloured bath you want in white, we can help, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Kingsthorpe. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Kingsthorpe: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
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.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kingsthorpe?
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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 what we repair.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, 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.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
