How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Dragley Beck
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a coating lifting around the plughole and a coloured bath you want in white.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Dragley Beck and across Cumbria.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One visit for most repairs

Dragley Beck questions
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Letting agents often send us photos 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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
