About our bath re-enamelling in Low Row
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Low Row and across Cumbria.

Low Row questions
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are there extra charges for Low Row?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Low Row?
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Stains that won’t shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Low Row. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlord and trade work in Low Row
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Low Row use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Should you replace it?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
