What we are called out for in Appleby Magna
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A coloured bath you want in white

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Appleby Magna. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Appleby Magna as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 generally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Never use suction bath mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Appleby Magna questions
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
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 I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
