Bath re-enamelling at your home in Barrow
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
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.
Common problems we fix in Barrow
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What your quote should include
- How to care for the finish
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

What else we do in Barrow
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Barrow, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after 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.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Questions from Barrow
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Barrow?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Somerset.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barrow use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Repair dripping taps early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
