Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Hincaster, Cumbria
We travel to Hincaster for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Stains that won’t shift
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Bath re-enamelling in Hincaster, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Work done at your home or business
- Fixed prices from your pictures

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we’re called out for in Hincaster
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
