About our bath re-enamelling in Lordswood
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s wear marks under the taps and several chips and rust patches, we can normally put it right, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Lordswood
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Lordswood. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Never use suction bath mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Common problems we fix in Lordswood
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
Common reasons people in Lordswood contact us are:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
- If travel is included in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
Landlord and trade work in Lordswood
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lordswood as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Lordswood: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath split right through the body
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes most of the day.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- 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 usually be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
