Bath Re-enamelling for Holmrook homes
Our technicians come to Holmrook for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coloured bath you want in white
Should I try a DIY kit 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Bath re-enamelling in Holmrook without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and lots of chips and rust spots, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria.

What affects the price in Holmrook
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Holmrook. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath split right through the body
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops

What we are called out for in Holmrook
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Stains that won’t shift
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Before booking anyone
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
