Bath re-enamelling for Lidlington homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Lidlington

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and stains that won’t shift, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Landlord and trade work in Lidlington

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lidlington use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Lidlington

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Before booking anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath that is rusted through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a full day.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Lidlington questions

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover the entire of Bedford Borough?

The whole UK, including all of Bedford Borough. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your MK43 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
