About our bath re-enamelling in Lakes End
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. If you are dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Lakes End and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Lakes End
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Lakes End. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Lakes End questions
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.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you cover Lakes End?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Lakes End. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Lakes End.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Holes rusted through the metal
