About our bath re-enamelling in Lye Hole
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coloured bath you want in white, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Lye Hole, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Have chips seen to early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lye Hole
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Lye Hole, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Lye Hole. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Lye Hole. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
