Bath re-enamelling in Laxton without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are staining under the taps and around the waste and wear marks under the taps.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Laxton, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Repairing versus replacing in Laxton
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
For a price in Laxton, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Laxton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Common problems we fix in Laxton
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A roll-top that is seen better days

- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the colour is matched
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Common questions in Laxton
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will the new finish 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.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
