Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What else we do in Kirkby-in-Furness
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Kirkby-in-Furness
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Kirkby-in-Furness
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- One visit for most repairs

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
