How we handle bath re-enamelling in Old Stratford

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done 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.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: 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.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your MK19 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Old Stratford

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you cover Old Stratford?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Old Stratford. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Do you cover the entire of Northamptonshire?

We work UK-wide, so Old Stratford is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Do the materials smell?

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Several chips and rust patches

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
