Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hoddlesden
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Repair dripping taps early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Blackburn with Darwen and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Common questions in Hoddlesden
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How long does re-enamelling last?
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.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Hoddlesden and the rest of Blackburn with Darwen. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hoddlesden?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps
- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How long it needs to cure
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Hoddlesden, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hoddlesden. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
