Bath re-enamelling at your home in Shotteswell
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you’re dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help, whatever the material.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes most of the day in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Shotteswell
Do you work in Shotteswell?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Shotteswell and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Northamptonshire.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shotteswell

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
