How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bedford
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
