How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bowscar
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and several chips and rust patches.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Bowscar

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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’s the part we put right.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you are in Bowscar and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Landlord and trade work in Bowscar
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
