How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
About our bath re-enamelling in Lake
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why Lake clients choose us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We leave the room as we found it
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- No need to remove anything

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Lake, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Common problems we fix in Lake
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

- Wear marks under the taps
- Stains that will not shift

Common questions in Lake
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
