How we handle bath re-enamelling in Row

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. If you are dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coloured bath you want in white, we can usually put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

FAQs for Row

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you work in Row?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Row and the rest of Cumbria. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?

Everywhere in the UK, Row included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Row. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in Row get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When to call us in Row

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How to care for the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Row

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths

Repairing versus replacing in Row

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Row. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
