About our bath re-enamelling in Slip End
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and chips and rust in more than one place.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Slip End: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Luton.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What we’re called out for in Slip End
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- How to care for the finish
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Colour-matched on site
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
