Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Thin, worn enamel in places

About our bath re-enamelling in Milnthorpe
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can normally put it right, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repairs by material
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.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price

Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
Read our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
What affects the price in Milnthorpe
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
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.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
