Bath re-enamelling in Grasmere, done in place
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and thin, worn enamel in places, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Grasmere?
Often the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A roll-top that’s seen better days

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- 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
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Grasmere questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What affects the price in Grasmere
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in Grasmere get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Grasmere
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
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.
