Bath re-enamelling near Wardington

About our bath re-enamelling in Wardington

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and several chips and rust patches, we can help, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wardington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

FAQs for Wardington

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you cover the whole of Northamptonshire?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Holes rusted through the metal

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Wardington

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

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Different materials, different repairs

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 is the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
