How we handle bath re-enamelling in Walgrave
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and staining under the taps and around the waste, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Walgrave and across Northamptonshire.

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. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Questions from Walgrave
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Repair dripping taps early
- Have chips seen to early
- Store bottles off the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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 will not last.
Repairing versus replacing in Walgrave
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
