Bath re-enamelling in Crosby-on-Eden, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are staining under the taps and around the waste and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria.

Landlord and trade work in Crosby-on-Eden
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

FAQs for Crosby-on-Eden
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What we are called out for in Crosby-on-Eden
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Should you replace it?
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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Crosby-on-Eden. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
