Trusted bath re-enamelling in Towcester

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Towcester

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. If you’re dealing with several chips and rust patches and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can normally put it right, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Towcester and across Northamptonshire.

Repairing versus replacing in Towcester

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No need to remove anything

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Towcester questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can you quote from photos?

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

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your NN12 postcode.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

For anyone letting property in or around Towcester, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What affects the price in Towcester

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you’re in Towcester and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
