Bath re-enamelling in Jack's Mere, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Jack's Mere
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What affects the price in Jack's Mere
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
FAQs for Jack's Mere
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lancashire.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
