Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Rushden
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about thin, worn enamel in places and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a full day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Rushden, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Landlord and trade work in Rushden
For anyone letting property in or around Rushden, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
FAQs for Rushden
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit.
