What happens on the day

- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lode
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include a coloured bath you want in white and staining under the taps and around the waste, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Lode. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Lode?
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Wear marks under the taps
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Lode: your questions answered
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you come to Lode?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Lode and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Lode?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Have chips seen to early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Store bottles off the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lode
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
For anyone letting property in or around Lode, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
