Bath re-enamelling at your home in Shefford
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. If you’re dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coloured bath you want in white, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, 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.

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- 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.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Shefford?
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Look out for any of the following:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
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.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Common questions in Shefford
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Shefford. Our prices are the same everywhere.
