Bath Re-enamelling in Tansor
Bath re-enamelling across Tansor and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
About our bath re-enamelling in Tansor
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can typically put it right, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Tansor and across Northamptonshire.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tansor use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you cover Tansor?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Tansor. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
What areas do you cover?
