Bath re-enamelling at your home in Sollom
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and wear marks under the taps.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Sollom
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you come to Sollom?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Sollom and the rest of Lancashire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Sollom is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Have chips seen to early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath that is rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Sollom?
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A coating lifting around the plughole

What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a full day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
