About our bath re-enamelling in Askam in Furness
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are lots of chips and rust spots and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Askam in Furness and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Askam in Furness
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Customers usually contact us about:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Store bottles off the bath
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Common questions in Askam in Furness
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Askam in Furness. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Askam in Furness
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- A fixed quote before booking

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
What else we do in Askam in Furness
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlord and trade work in Askam in Furness
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
