Bath re-enamelling at your home in Near Sawrey
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and wear marks under the taps, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Repairing versus replacing in Near Sawrey
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Near Sawrey. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Near Sawrey: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
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.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
When to call us in Near Sawrey
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price covers travel
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
