Bath re-enamelling in Little Paxton without replacing anything

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A bath split right through the body
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Little Paxton

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

10 questions to ask before booking

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 the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Little Paxton

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
