Bath re-enamelling at your home in Lower Shelton
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you are dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Bedford Borough and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Lower Shelton. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Lower Shelton
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Common problems we fix in Lower Shelton
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Repair or replace in Lower Shelton?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Lower Shelton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Colour-matched on site
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Rooms protected and left tidy

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
