Bath re-enamelling in Lackford without replacing anything
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. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Lackford: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Lackford
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:
- Stains that won’t shift
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
