About our bath re-enamelling in Melchbourne
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Melchbourne questions
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Melchbourne. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Melchbourne?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most clients in Melchbourne get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Melchbourne and the surrounding area
Melchbourne is about 4 miles east of Rushden, in Bedford Borough. We visit customers in Melchbourne and the surrounding area, so there is no workshop to go to. Melchbourne is one of 94 places in Bedford Borough where we work. Our jobs stretch from Melchbourne to London (about 57 miles away).
Our visits in MK44 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. That includes homes on Knotting Road and Park Road and the roads around them.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Melchbourne
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- When it can be used again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
Repairing versus replacing in Melchbourne
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
