Bath re-enamelling at your home in Brunstock
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you are dealing with wear marks under the taps and a coloured bath you want in white, we can typically put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Brunstock
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Brunstock. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price 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.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CA6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Questions from Brunstock
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses
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 matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
What else we do in Brunstock
Common problems we fix in Brunstock
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- Aftercare advice
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
