About our bath re-enamelling in Anthorn
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about wear marks under the taps and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Anthorn and across Cumbria.

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 we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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 is what we repair.

Anthorn questions
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Anthorn?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Anthorn is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace in Anthorn?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Anthorn use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
