How we handle bath re-enamelling in Luddenden
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Luddenden use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Luddenden. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Luddenden. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates

What we are called out for in Luddenden
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
Common reasons people in Luddenden contact us are:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An old resurfacing that’s failing

Repair or replace in Luddenden?
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’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
