Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hollins Lane
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Hollins Lane: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hollins Lane
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hollins Lane use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What affects the price in Hollins Lane
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
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.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Hollins Lane, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we are called out for in Hollins Lane
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Clients normally contact us about:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
