Bath re-enamelling in Little Loughrigg without replacing anything
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and wear marks under the taps, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Little Loughrigg
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Stains that will not shift
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath that’s rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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’s what we repair.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
