How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Kendal
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about several chips and rust patches and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria.

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Kendal
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kendal?
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price covers travel
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Kendal
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Common questions in Kendal
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
