Bath re-enamelling at your home in Frizington

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and wear marks under the taps, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Frizington, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Frizington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Frizington

Frizington: your questions answered

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. 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 it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
