How we handle bath re-enamelling in Little Wymington

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are an outdated colour you’d like to change and lots of chips and rust spots.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

When to call us in Little Wymington

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • If travel is included in the price

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Wymington as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Little Wymington, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Little Wymington

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Are there extra charges for Little Wymington?

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

Do you come to Little Wymington?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Little Wymington and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

When can you do it?

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

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
