About our bath re-enamelling in Kempston
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We’re frequently asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Have chips seen to early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
FAQs for Kempston
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
What else we do in Kempston
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Kempston
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
