How we handle bath re-enamelling in Easington Lane
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and lots of chips and rust spots, we can generally put it right, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Have chips seen to early
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
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.

Easington Lane questions
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
