Bath re-enamelling in Lane Head without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We’re often asked to fix wear marks under the taps and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Lane Head
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lane Head. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price

Related advice
Lane Head: your questions answered
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
When to call us in Lane Head
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
