Bath re-enamelling in Ladybrook without replacing anything

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and several chips and rust patches.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths

What affects the price in Ladybrook

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Ladybrook. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Ladybrook questions

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Are there extra charges for Ladybrook?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Have chips seen to early

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ladybrook. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

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 the part we put right.
