How we handle bath re-enamelling in Armathwaite
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can typically put it right, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Armathwaite, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
What we are called out for in Armathwaite
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Stains that won’t shift
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Armathwaite
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you come to Armathwaite?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Armathwaite. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Armathwaite. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
