Bath re-enamelling for North Northamptonshire homes

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in North Northamptonshire

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and several chips and rust patches, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for North Northamptonshire. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything

Read our pricing and bath cost comparison.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in North Northamptonshire

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

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

When to call us in North Northamptonshire

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

Common reasons people in North Northamptonshire contact us include:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in North Northamptonshire?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

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.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

If you’re in North Northamptonshire and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
