Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Whitfield, Northamptonshire
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Whitfield, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Bath re-enamelling in Whitfield, done in place
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northamptonshire.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath that’s rusted through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitfield
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Whitfield
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Wear marks under the taps
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- What preparation is included
- Who will actually do the work
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Questions from Whitfield
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
