Bath re-enamelling in Mawthorpe without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
What we are called out for in Mawthorpe
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Look out for any of the following:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Stains that will not shift
- Wear marks under the taps
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
Mawthorpe: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Mawthorpe and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
What affects the price in Mawthorpe
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Repair dripping taps early
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
