About our bath re-enamelling in Lower Sundon

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are worn patches where water runs and sits and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Sundon

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Luton and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

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

Common problems we fix in Lower Sundon

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

Lower Sundon questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Repairing versus replacing in Lower Sundon

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
