Trusted bath re-enamelling in Church Lawton

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Church Lawton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Church Lawton

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are a coloured bath you want in white and worn patches where water runs and sits.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Church Lawton

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Church Lawton?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Church Lawton

  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

When to call us in Church Lawton

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Repair dripping taps early

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

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.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
