Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Asby, Cumbria
Problem with your bath in Asby? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.
Bath re-enamelling in Asby without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we’re called out for in Asby
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Stains that won’t shift
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One price list for the entire UK
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What affects the price in Asby
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Asby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
Work for landlords and builders
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 matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Asby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Common questions in Asby
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Asby?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
