Bath re-enamelling in Barrow, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are thin, worn enamel in places and stains that won’t shift.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Barrow questions
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Are there extra charges for Barrow?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you work in Barrow?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Barrow and the rest of Rutland. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- 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.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barrow use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Repair or replace in Barrow?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LE15 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
