Bath re-enamelling in Top of Lane, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and wear marks under the taps, we can help, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Top of Lane: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Store bottles off the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
