Bath re-enamelling in Lewth without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

When to call us in Lewth
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a full day. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Lewth
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you work in Lewth?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Lewth from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lewth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
