Questions from Flitton
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Do you cover the whole of Central Bedfordshire?
All of Central Bedfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Flitton.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Flitton
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Flitton
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
