How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lìonal
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coloured bath you want in white, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, 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.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Lìonal?
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A coating lifting around the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price covers travel
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Lìonal. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Lìonal: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Lìonal?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your HS2 postcode.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
