Bath re-enamelling for Titchmarsh homes

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Titchmarsh

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before booking

Bath re-enamelling in Titchmarsh, done in place

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northamptonshire.

Before and after: an old basin refinished to bright white

Can I fix it myself?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & shower trays

Titchmarsh questions

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

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.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What affects the price in Titchmarsh

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, photos 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.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
