How we handle bath re-enamelling in Upper Boddington
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and chips and rust in more than one place, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Upper Boddington
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually.

FAQs for Upper Boddington
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Northamptonshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Upper Boddington
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An old resurfacing that’s failing

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What else we do in Upper Boddington
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Upper Boddington. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Upper Boddington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Have chips seen to early
- Repair dripping taps early
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
