Bath re-enamelling in Fotherby without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you’re dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can usually put it right.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire.

What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Fotherby. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Fotherby?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What we’re called out for in Fotherby

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Wear marks under the taps
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Before booking anyone

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
