Bath re-enamelling in Lawshall without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with wear marks under the taps and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your IP29 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Lawshall questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Lawshall?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Lawshall?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A coloured bath you want in white
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Store bottles off the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
