Bath re-enamelling in Caldbeck, done in place
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can usually put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Caldbeck. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
- Repair dripping taps early
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Caldbeck, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
