Bath re-enamelling in Bassenthwaite without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and several chips and rust patches.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Never use suction bath mats
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Bassenthwaite?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An old resurfacing that is failing

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bassenthwaite as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repairing versus replacing in Bassenthwaite
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Bassenthwaite, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
