About our bath re-enamelling in Kentmere
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Other services in Kentmere
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. 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 generally cheaper.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Kentmere.

Common questions in Kentmere
Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?
All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you work in Kentmere?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Kentmere for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Access to the area
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. 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.
