How we handle bath re-enamelling in Foulridge
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Common call-outs are for wear marks under the taps and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
What affects the price in Foulridge
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Respect the curing time we give you
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
When to call us in Foulridge
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coloured bath you want in white

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
