Bath re-enamelling at your home in Speedwell

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and a coloured bath you want in white, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  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

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Milton Keynes and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Speedwell?

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again
  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

FAQs for Speedwell

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Do you work in Speedwell?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Speedwell and the rest of Milton Keynes. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
