What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lambourne
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you are dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What we are called out for in Lambourne
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Lambourne: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are there extra charges for Lambourne?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath that’s rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Repairing versus replacing in Lambourne
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
