Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Nelson, Lancashire
We travel to Nelson for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Wear marks under the taps
- Several chips and rust patches
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Nelson
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are a coating lifting around the plughole and a coloured bath you want in white.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Nelson. The price reflects:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Nelson. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

Landlords, agents and businesses in Nelson
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Nelson
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
