About our bath re-enamelling in Bletsoe
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and a coating lifting around the plughole, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Common problems we fix in Bletsoe
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Wear marks under the taps
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What preparation is included
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

What else we do in Bletsoe
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Bletsoe: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
