About our bath re-enamelling in Lymore
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Repair or replace in Lymore?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common questions in Lymore
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you work in Lymore?

Advice
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common problems we fix in Lymore
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
