Bath re-enamelling in Barrow without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and staining under the taps and around the waste, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a full day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Barrow: your questions answered
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I fix it myself?
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 generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
