Bath re-enamelling in Coleby without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for thin, worn enamel in places and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

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

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Coleby, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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 pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Coleby
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

We cover the entire UK, including Coleby and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
