Clients normally contact us about:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Several chips and rust patches
- Wear marks under the taps
What your quote should include

Bath re-enamelling in Hale, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and staining under the taps and around the waste.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
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.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- 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
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
