Bath Re-enamelling in Port Carlisle
Problem with your bath in Port Carlisle? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build 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.
About our bath re-enamelling in Port Carlisle
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Port Carlisle
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Port Carlisle as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Questions from Port Carlisle
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What areas do you cover?
All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
