Bath re-enamelling in Crosby Garrett, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and thin, worn enamel in places, we can generally put it right, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Crosby Garrett and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Several chips and rust patches

What else we do in Crosby Garrett
What affects the price in Crosby Garrett
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
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 the same day in most cases.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Crosby Garrett: your questions answered
Do you work in Crosby Garrett?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Crosby Garrett and the rest of Cumbria. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
