How we handle bath re-enamelling in Barrow
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about stains that won’t shift and thin, worn enamel in places.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- 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
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A bath that’s rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
