Bath re-enamelling near Marston Moretaine

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Marston Moretaine

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are several chips and rust patches and staining under the taps and around the waste.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bedford Borough.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

FAQs for Marston Moretaine

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

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

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your MK43 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
