Bath re-enamelling in Santon, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Santon and across Cumbria.

FAQs for Santon
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Santon is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you work in Santon?
We do. We send a technician to Santon for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What we’re called out for in Santon
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What preparation is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Santon. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Santon, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Have chips seen to early
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
