Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Houghton Regis, Central Bedfordshire
Local bath re-enamelling for Houghton Regis: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Wear marks under the taps
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Respect the curing time we give you
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Houghton Regis
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath split right through the body
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops

- Acrylic baths
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.
What we’re called out for in Houghton Regis
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Clients generally contact us about:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Stains that will not shift
- Thin, worn enamel in places

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Houghton Regis: your questions answered
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
