Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Bath re-enamelling in Allonby without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Allonby and across Cumbria.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Allonby: your questions answered
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
