Related advice
Bath re-enamelling in Kirkby Stephen, done in place
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What else we do in Kirkby Stephen
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kirkby Stephen?
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An old resurfacing that’s failing

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Kirkby Stephen
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do you come to Kirkby Stephen?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Kirkby Stephen for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirkby Stephen
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
