Trusted bath re-enamelling in Wansford

Bath re-enamelling in Wansford without replacing anything

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a coating lifting around the plughole and several chips and rust patches.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface 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.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Wansford?

Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What preparation is included
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common questions in Wansford

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Are you accredited?

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

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Wansford?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your PE8 postcode.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Do you cover Wansford?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Wansford and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
