How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lord's Wood

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and worn patches where water runs and sits.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath that’s rusted through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Take a look at our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Lord's Wood. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Lord's Wood

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do you work in Lord's Wood?

We do. We send a technician to Lord's Wood for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
