How we handle bath re-enamelling in Garth Row
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coating lifting around the plughole, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Garth Row: your questions answered
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?
Across the UK, so Garth Row is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Garth Row
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Repair or replace in Garth Row?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
