Advice
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lydbury North
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Lydbury North
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Wear marks under the taps

Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Questions from Lydbury North
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you cover Lydbury North?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Lydbury North. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
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, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
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 pay close attention there.
