Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Moorhouse, Cumbria
Local bath re-enamelling for Moorhouse: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Moorhouse
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about wear marks under the taps and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Common problems we fix in Moorhouse
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is matched
Common questions in Moorhouse
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
