About our bath re-enamelling in Stotfold

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Stotfold and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

If you’re in Stotfold and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No need to remove anything
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

When to call us in Stotfold

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath that’s rusted through
