- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Bath re-enamelling in Appleby Parva without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a coloured bath you want in white and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a full day. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- 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.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Appleby Parva, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Store bottles off the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
When to call us in Appleby Parva
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Look out for any of the following:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the room is protected while they work
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site

Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit.
