Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Bath re-enamelling in Hunsonby, done in place
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you are dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can usually put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Hunsonby questions
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Hunsonby.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are there extra charges for Hunsonby?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Repair dripping taps early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hunsonby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
