Bath Re-enamelling for Knotting homes
Bath re-enamelling in and around Knotting: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Thin, worn enamel in places
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Knotting
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. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Knotting and across Bedford Borough.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Knotting. The price depends on:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most clients in Knotting get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow the best part of a day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What else we do in Knotting
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When to call us in Knotting
Often the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- How the room is protected while they work
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
