Bath re-enamelling at your home in Moor Row

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and lots of chips and rust spots.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Moor Row as everywhere else we work.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What affects the price in Moor Row

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Moor 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

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Moor Row, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Moor Row

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

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 feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

FAQs for Moor Row

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?

The whole UK, including all of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
