Haverthwaite: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Haverthwaite?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LA12 postcode.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Are there extra charges for Haverthwaite?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
