Repair or replace in Cunningsburgh?
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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cunningsburgh
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Common problems we fix in Cunningsburgh

Cunningsburgh: your questions answered
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
