About our bath re-enamelling in Lakeside
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LA12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Lakeside
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Stains that won’t shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Lakeside: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
