How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lydford
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Lydford. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
When to call us in Lydford
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Stains that will not shift
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Comparing quotes
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How to look after the finish
- How the room is protected while they work
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a full day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Never use suction bath mats
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Lydford: your questions answered
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
