Bath re-enamelling at your home in Lendings
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Holes rusted through the metal

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Repair or replace in Lendings?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

- Let us know if it has been repaired before

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
