Bath Re-enamelling for Luton homes
Local bath re-enamelling for Luton: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Bath re-enamelling in Luton without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and lots of chips and rust spots, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Luton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Luton
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Stains that will not shift
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What aftercare is recommended
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Have chips seen to early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Questions from Luton
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Luton?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Luton.
Do you come to Luton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Luton and the rest of Luton. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Luton. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
