About our bath re-enamelling in Eppleby
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and several chips and rust patches.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

DIY kit or professional 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a full day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Landlord and trade work in Eppleby
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eppleby as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Questions from Eppleby
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Eppleby?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath split right through the body
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Eppleby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
