Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Gosforth, Cumbria
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Gosforth and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Stains that won’t shift
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store bottles off the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Bath re-enamelling in Gosforth, done in place
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Typical jobs include several chips and rust patches and thin, worn enamel in places, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Gosforth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
