Bath re-enamelling for Caddington homes

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Caddington

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can usually put it right, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Repairs by material

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.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Caddington. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Caddington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Caddington

Do you come to Caddington?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Caddington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

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

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Caddington is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes most of the day. The room is left tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Luton and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents often send us photos 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
