Bath Re-enamelling in Lilyvale
Bath re-enamelling across Lilyvale and nearby, usually in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Wear marks under the taps
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No need to remove anything

Bath re-enamelling in Lilyvale without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you are dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What a repair can’t fix

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What affects the price in Lilyvale
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Lilyvale. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we are called out for in Lilyvale
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Several chips and rust patches
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who will actually do the work
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Common questions in Lilyvale
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
