About our bath re-enamelling in Rookby
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We are often asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Rookby. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- 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 to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
FAQs for Rookby
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover Rookby?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Rookby and the rest of Cumbria. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What we are called out for in Rookby
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Repair or replace in Rookby?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
