Bath re-enamelling at your home in Higher Ballam
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and a coloured bath you want in white.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Higher Ballam and across Lancashire.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Higher Ballam
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Higher Ballam
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Wear marks under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who will actually do the work
- What preparation is included
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. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
