DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Bath re-enamelling in Thenford, done in place
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and thin, worn enamel in places, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- 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 following day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Thenford: your questions answered
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Thenford?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you work in Thenford?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Thenford and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
What we’re called out for in Thenford

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Repair or replace in Thenford?

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
