- Resurfacing from £350
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Bath re-enamelling in Lydgate without replacing anything
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and worn patches where water runs and sits.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What else we do in Lydgate
Repairing versus replacing in Lydgate
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 whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Lydgate. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage

Repairs by material

Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Lydgate
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
