Bath re-enamelling in Northleigh, done in place

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace in Northleigh?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Northleigh questions

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Are there extra charges for Northleigh?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you come to Northleigh?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Northleigh from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

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

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

What we’re called out for in Northleigh

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

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

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Northleigh. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EX24 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
