Bath re-enamelling at your home in Lexden
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and stains that won’t shift, we can typically put it right.
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.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths

FAQs for Lexden
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lexden as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Should you replace it?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Lexden. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
