Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Luton

Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

About our bath re-enamelling in Luton

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you are dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Medway.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you’re in Luton and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Should you replace it?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Luton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Luton

Are you a vetted contractor?

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
