Bath re-enamelling at your home in Melmerby
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you are dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can usually put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Never use suction bath mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

FAQs for Melmerby
Do you cover Melmerby?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Melmerby and the rest of Cumbria. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Melmerby. Prices do not change with location.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A bath that is rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs 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 price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Melmerby
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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.
