Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Lighthazles, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Bath re-enamelling in Lighthazles, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Lighthazles
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Lighthazles. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
For a price in Lighthazles, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What else we do in Lighthazles
Lighthazles questions
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Lighthazles?
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- We leave the room as we found it
- A fixed quote before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
