How the visit works

- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bonning Gate
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Bonning Gate, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Questions from Bonning Gate
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Bonning Gate and the rest of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Bonning Gate?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
