Bath Re-enamelling for Distington homes
Bath re-enamelling across Distington and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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.
Bath re-enamelling in Distington, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and a roll-top that’s seen better days, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria.

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What we are called out for in Distington
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.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Chips and rust in more than one place

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
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.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Distington: your questions answered
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you come to Distington?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Distington. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Fix dripping taps quickly
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
