Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing for homes and businesses in Upper Stondon and across Central Bedfordshire. Send pictures for a free, fixed quote.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Have chips seen to early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Upper Stondon
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We’re frequently asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Central Bedfordshire.

How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- 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 typically be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What else we do in Upper Stondon
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
FAQs for Upper Stondon
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
