Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Norton, Northamptonshire
Bath re-enamelling across Norton and nearby, usually in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Several chips and rust patches
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
About our bath re-enamelling in Norton
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We are frequently asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
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 quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Questions from Norton
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Landlord and trade work in Norton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Norton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Norton
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An old resurfacing that’s failing

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
