Bath re-enamelling in Lopen, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and staining under the taps and around the waste.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlord and trade work in Lopen
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- 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 following day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Lopen: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Lopen.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Lopen
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Wear marks under the taps
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- What prep work is covered
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Lopen. What changes the price is:

- What kind of damage it is
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
