How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lower Falkenham
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Lower Falkenham
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 are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- One visit for most repairs
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We leave the room as we found it

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath
Most customers in Lower Falkenham get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

When to call us in Lower Falkenham
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Look out for any of the following:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Several chips and rust patches
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Thin, worn enamel in places
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t 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.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
