Bath re-enamelling for Moor End homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 pictures.

Bath re-enamelling in Moor End without replacing anything

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and wear marks under the taps.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Moor End and across Northamptonshire.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a full day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that is rusted through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

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

What affects the price in Moor End

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Moor End

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Work done at your home or business

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Moor End, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Moor End: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair dripping taps early

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
