Honest limits

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

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we work on in Radwell

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Radwell customers choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Common questions in Radwell

Do you cover the entire of Bedford Borough?

Everywhere in the UK, Radwell included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Radwell?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Bedford Borough and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Radwell. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
