About our bath re-enamelling in Litlington
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and a coloured bath you want in white, we can normally put it right, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When to call us in Litlington
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Stains that won’t shift
Before you book anyone
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Litlington questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Do you come to Litlington?
We do. We send a technician to Litlington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What affects the price in Litlington
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Litlington. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match

Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
