Bath re-enamelling in Round Spinney

Bath re-enamelling in Round Spinney without replacing anything

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and several chips and rust patches.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you’re in Round Spinney and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Round Spinney: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Do you cover the whole of Northamptonshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Round Spinney included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Repair or replace in Round Spinney?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Landlord and trade work in Round Spinney

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Round Spinney as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

When to call us in Round Spinney

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
