About our bath re-enamelling in Ireleth
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We’re often asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and stains that won’t shift, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath that’s rusted through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ireleth
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What areas do you cover?
All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Ireleth?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LA16 postcode.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Ireleth
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

- One price list for the whole UK

What happens on the day

- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
