About our bath re-enamelling in Little Broughton

Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

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 typically cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Little Broughton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most customers in Little Broughton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- A fixed quote before you book
- Work done at your home or business
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Little Broughton: your questions answered
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Little Broughton?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
