Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Egremont
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. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and thin, worn enamel in places, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Egremont
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Should you replace it?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Egremont
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Egremont, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Common questions in Egremont
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Egremont. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
