About our bath re-enamelling in Crackenthorpe
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. Typical jobs include a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a coloured bath you want in white, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Crackenthorpe and across Cumbria.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price.
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 baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Common problems we fix in Crackenthorpe
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Comparing quotes
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
