Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Low Fell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Low Fell questions
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Low Fell?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What else we do in Low Fell
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not 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 each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Low Fell
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Stains that will not shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
