If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Bath re-enamelling in Ickford without replacing anything
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Ickford questions
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Ickford?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your HP18 postcode.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Have chips seen to early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
