Bath re-enamelling at your home in Northlands
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and chips and rust in more than one place.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Have chips seen to early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
When to call us in Northlands
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Look out for these signs:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price covers travel
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PE22 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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 also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Northlands: your questions answered
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you cover Northlands?
We do. We send a technician to Northlands for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
