Bath Re-enamelling in Lemington
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Lemington and the surrounding area, normally in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
About our bath re-enamelling in Lemington
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common problems we fix in Lemington
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Stains that will not shift
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath split right through the body
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Lemington
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Other services in Lemington
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
Read our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Lemington. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- The material
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
