Bath re-enamelling at your home in Burgh-by-Sands
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about thin, worn enamel in places and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
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.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Burgh-by-Sands
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Burgh-by-Sands?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your CA5 postcode.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Have chips seen to early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why book with us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Burgh-by-Sands. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
When to call us in Burgh-by-Sands
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coloured bath you want in white
Before you book anyone
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price covers travel
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
