About our bath re-enamelling in Pooley Bridge
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and staining under the taps and around the waste.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Related advice
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Common questions in Pooley Bridge
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Pooley Bridge
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Pooley Bridge. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Pooley Bridge
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Common reasons people in Pooley Bridge contact us are:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What prep work is covered
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
