Common questions in Currock
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Currock
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can usually put it right, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Currock?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Common reasons people in Currock contact us include:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Stains that won’t shift
Before you book anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Repairing versus replacing in Currock
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths

How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a full day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
