Trusted bath re-enamelling in Tetworth

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Tetworth?

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Bath re-enamelling in Tetworth without replacing anything

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and worn patches where water runs and sits.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Central Bedfordshire.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath normally 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Work done at your home or business

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

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 the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Tetworth

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

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