Bath re-enamelling around Nether Heyford
In the older streets of Nether Heyford, around landmarks like Church of St Peter and St Paul, an original cast iron or steel bath is worth keeping, and bath re-enamelling gives it years more use.
Nether Heyford is about 6 miles south-east of Daventry, in Northamptonshire. We work in every kind of home, from flats and terraces to detached houses and new builds, as well as offices, shops and holiday lets. Nether Heyford is one of 364 places in Northamptonshire we cover. Our jobs stretch from Nether Heyford to Birmingham (about 40 miles away).
Visits for bath re-enamelling in NN7 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. You’ll find streets such as The Green, Close Road and Hillside Road, and we cover them all.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. In an older home in a village like Nether Heyford, replacing a bath can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.
Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What else we do in Nether Heyford
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Northamptonshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days. In a village or hamlet like Nether Heyford, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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’s the part we put right.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Nether Heyford. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
For a price in Nether Heyford, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
