Bath re-enamelling in Cauldwell without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include wear marks under the taps and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Cauldwell: your questions answered
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Cauldwell and the rest of Bedford Borough. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Bedford Borough. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
