Bath re-enamelling in Gregson Lane, done in place
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Have chips seen to early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A bath that is rusted through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What affects the price in Gregson Lane
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
