Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Greystoke and the surrounding area, typically in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Stains that will not shift
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Greystoke
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and worn patches where water runs and sits, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Greystoke?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

Questions from Greystoke
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Do you come to Greystoke?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Greystoke and the rest of Cumbria. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CA11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
For a price in Greystoke, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
