Bath re-enamelling in Fourlanes End, done in place
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’re dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and thin, worn enamel in places, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
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’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most clients in Fourlanes End get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Fourlanes End
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
FAQs for Fourlanes End
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Fourlanes End?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you cover Fourlanes End?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Fourlanes End. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Fourlanes End, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
