Bath re-enamelling in Long Buckby, done in place
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and stains that won’t shift, we can normally put it right, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we’re called out for in Long Buckby
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What else we do in Long Buckby
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
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 is what we repair.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
