Bath re-enamelling in Canwick, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and wear marks under the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Landlord and trade work in Canwick
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths

Questions from Canwick
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Canwick included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your photos
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Same prices wherever you are

When to call us in Canwick
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Wear marks under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
