Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Lockington
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Are there extra charges for Lockington?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
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.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Lockington
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coloured bath you want in white.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Lockington
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Look out for any of the following:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Several chips and rust patches
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched
- What protection goes down before work starts
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. 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 check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix

- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Lockington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Lockington. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
