Bath re-enamelling in Lawhitton without replacing anything
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. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and thin, worn enamel in places.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Never use suction bath mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Lawhitton. The price reflects:

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
FAQs for Lawhitton
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Do you come to Lawhitton?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Lawhitton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Lawhitton?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repairing versus replacing in Lawhitton
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
