How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Bath re-enamelling in Kents Bank without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are stains that won’t shift and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Common problems we fix in Kents Bank
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Look out for these signs:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Wear marks under the taps
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Stains that won’t shift
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
Most clients in Kents Bank get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Common questions in Kents Bank
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Kents Bank and the rest of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kents Bank
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kents Bank use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
