About our bath re-enamelling in Lackenby
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. If you are dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually 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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When to call us in Lackenby
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.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Wear marks under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- When it can be used again
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
If you’re in Lackenby and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
