FAQs for Salterbeck
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you cover Salterbeck?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Salterbeck from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How we price bath re-enamelling

- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.
