About our bath re-enamelling in Lilley
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colour-matched on site

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
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lilley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

For anyone letting property in or around Lilley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Store bottles off the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Lilley: your questions answered
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
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 quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry
