Bath re-enamelling at your home in Lower Ledwyche
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and lots of chips and rust spots.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Lower Ledwyche and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Lower Ledwyche. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Lower Ledwyche, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take most of the day.
- 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.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What else we do in Lower Ledwyche
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
