Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Starr Gate
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Starr Gate and across Blackpool.

What affects the price in Starr Gate
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Starr Gate. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. 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. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Starr Gate.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Starr Gate use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
