About our bath re-enamelling in Church End

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coating lifting around the plughole.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Church End and across Central Bedfordshire.

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Church End: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover the whole of Central Bedfordshire?

The whole UK, including all of Central Bedfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Church End.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For anyone letting property in or around Church End, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Church End. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.

  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 several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. 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.

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
