About our bath re-enamelling in Northaw

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are an outdated colour you’d like to change and a coating lifting around the plughole.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlord and trade work in Northaw

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Repair dripping taps early

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

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Repair or replace in Northaw?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour-matched on site

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Common questions in Northaw

Do you cover Northaw?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Northaw. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Northaw?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Wear marks under the taps
