Bath re-enamelling in Blackbank, done in place
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about chips and rust in more than one place and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.

Landlord and trade work in Blackbank
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
