Bath re-enamelling in Hackthorpe without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can usually put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath that is rusted through

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What affects the price in Hackthorpe
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Hackthorpe. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath
For a price in Hackthorpe, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: 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 price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
