About our bath re-enamelling in Laughterton
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and several chips and rust patches, we can usually put it right, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. The price 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 price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Common questions in Laughterton
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Laughterton. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Landlord and trade work in Laughterton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Laughterton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Laughterton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have chips seen to early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Common problems we fix in Laughterton
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Stains that will not shift
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- What preparation is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
