Bath re-enamelling at your home in Lybster
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Lybster and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Lybster questions
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Lybster?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Lybster. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lybster. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
When to call us in Lybster
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Wear marks under the taps
- Several chips and rust patches
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Repairing versus replacing in Lybster
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
