Book bath re-enamelling in Upper Heyford

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

About our bath re-enamelling in Upper Heyford

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are thin, worn enamel in places and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

  • Most jobs done in one visit

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What we’re called out for in Upper Heyford

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Common reasons people in Upper Heyford contact us are:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Upper Heyford: your questions answered

Do you come to Upper Heyford?

We do. Technicians travel to Upper Heyford from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

What areas do you cover?

All of Northamptonshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
