The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- 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 if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LA18 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Duddon Bridge without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. If you are dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and wear marks under the taps, we can help, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Questions from Duddon Bridge
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you come to Duddon Bridge?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Duddon Bridge. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have chips seen to early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we’re called out for in Duddon Bridge
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
