Bath Re-enamelling for Lakenham homes
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Lakenham, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Bath re-enamelling in Lakenham, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Lakenham
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Wear marks under the taps
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Landlord and trade work in Lakenham
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Lakenham. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Lakenham, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally 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. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Lakenham questions
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
