Bath re-enamelling at your home in Lytham

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s wear marks under the taps and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Repair or replace in Lytham?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lytham

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in Lytham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

FAQs for Lytham

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.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Common problems we fix in Lytham

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
