Bath re-enamelling in Bailrigg, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We are often asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Have chips seen to early
- Respect the curing time we give you
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
What we are called out for in Bailrigg
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if they find more damage
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Bailrigg questions
Are there extra charges for Bailrigg?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Repairing versus replacing in Bailrigg
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- We leave the room as we found it
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What else we do in Bailrigg
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LA1 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
