About our bath re-enamelling in Lucas Green
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. We’re frequently asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the price in Lucas Green
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Repairs by material
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 the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Lucas Green?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
