Bath re-enamelling in Halton Lodge without replacing anything
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Common questions in Halton Lodge
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.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
