Bath re-enamelling in Little Salkeld, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common problems we fix in Little Salkeld
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Stains that will not shift
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Colour-matched on site
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Common questions in Little Salkeld
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your CA10 postcode.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are there extra charges for Little Salkeld?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you cover Little Salkeld?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Little Salkeld and the rest of Cumbria. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
