How we handle bath re-enamelling in Keswick
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you’re dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

What affects the price in Keswick
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Keswick. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
Most customers in Keswick get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a full day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Repair or replace in Keswick?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
