Bath re-enamelling in Lane Head, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and a roll-top that’s seen better days, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Lane Head
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Lane Head
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
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.

FAQs for Lane Head
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Lane Head?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
