Need bath re-enamelling in Tansor?

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.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. 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

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Tansor, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Tansor

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

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?

Everywhere in the UK, Tansor included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Common problems we fix in Tansor

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coloured bath you want in white
