Bath re-enamelling in Long Buckby Wharf without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include a coloured bath you want in white and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Long Buckby Wharf
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your NN6 postcode.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What affects the price in Long Buckby Wharf
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Long Buckby Wharf, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
If you manage property in Long Buckby Wharf, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Long Buckby Wharf

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Stains that will not shift
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
