Bath Re-enamelling in Lambton
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Lambton, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Bath re-enamelling in Lambton without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We are often asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Lambton
Do you work in Lambton?
We do. We send a technician to Lambton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Holes rusted through the metal
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Have chips seen to early
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lambton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Other services in Lambton
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
