Our bath re-enamelling service in Cumbria

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. We’re often asked to fix wear marks under the taps and a coating lifting around the plughole, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Prices in Cumbria

Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Landmarks near Carlisle

Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Our Lady and St Joseph's Church, Trinity School and Milbourne Arms Public House and the streets around them. Other local landmarks include Church of St Cuthbert with St Mary (less than half a mile north) and Robert Ferguson Primary School (under half a mile south). There’s a railway station in Carlisle itself: Carlisle station. Further afield, we also cover the area around County Borough of Carlisle (under half a mile north) and Carlisle Castle (0.6 miles north). The countryside around Carlisle includes Thurstonfield Lough.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Common problems we fix in Cumbria

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Should you replace it?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker.

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common questions in Cumbria

Do you work in Cumbria?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cumbria for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
