Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Everything repaired in place
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Bath re-enamelling in Lydden without replacing anything
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. Common call-outs are for thin, worn enamel in places and lots of chips and rust spots, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Lydden
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
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.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
If you manage property in Lydden, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
When to call us in Lydden
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Several chips and rust patches
Before you book anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- What protection goes down before work starts

- Whether the colour is mixed to match
