Bath re-enamelling in Clifton without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with wear marks under the taps and a coloured bath you want in white, we can generally put it right, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Clifton
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?
Everywhere in the UK, Clifton included. Travel is included in the price.

- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Clifton
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
Common reasons people in Clifton contact us are:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Comparing quotes
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who turns up on the day
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep suction mats out of 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.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Clifton. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
