About our bath re-enamelling in Potterspury
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

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
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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 affects the price in Potterspury
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Potterspury. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Why repair rather than replace?
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 much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Potterspury. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

FAQs for Potterspury
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Never use suction bath mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Have chips seen to early
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
