Bath re-enamelling in Lunanhead, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Lunanhead
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Lunanhead?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates

- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Lunanhead
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What aftercare is recommended
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have chips seen to early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DD8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Lunanhead. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
