Bath re-enamelling at your home in Arlecdon
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We’re frequently asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and several chips and rust patches, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Arlecdon and across Cumbria.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Respect the curing time we give you
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays

Questions from Arlecdon
Are there extra charges for Arlecdon?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
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.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Arlecdon?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if they find more damage
- What prep work is covered
- What protection goes down before work starts
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Repair or replace in Arlecdon?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Arlecdon. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
