Bath re-enamelling in Silsoe

About our bath re-enamelling in Silsoe

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Typical jobs include staining under the taps and around the waste and several chips and rust patches, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Silsoe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Silsoe

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Stains that will not shift

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Never use suction bath mats

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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