Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use 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.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a full day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Northill?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Stains that will not shift
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the colour is matched
- How the room is protected while they work

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 a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths

Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Same prices wherever you are
- Rooms protected and left tidy
See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What affects the price in Northill
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Northill
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do you cover the entire of Central Bedfordshire?
All of Central Bedfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
