Lane End: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Store bottles off the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays

What affects the price in Lane End
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BH20 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
