Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hindpool
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and staining under the taps and around the waste, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hindpool and across Cumbria.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
What we’re called out for in Hindpool
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hindpool
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Have chips seen to early
- Store bottles off the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
For a price in Hindpool, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Hindpool

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
