Bath re-enamelling in Wixams, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you’re dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wixams
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Wixams questions
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Bedford Borough.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When to call us in Wixams
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Stains that won’t shift
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath that’s rusted through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- 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.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
