Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Cotton End, Central Bedfordshire
Damaged bath in Cotton End? We put it right where it is, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What else we do in Cotton End
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos 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
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you’re in Cotton End and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should you replace it?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colour-matched on site
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work 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
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
