Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Seascale
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Common call-outs are for an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should you replace it?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Seascale
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you come to Seascale?
We do. We send a technician to Seascale for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
About Seascale

Our repair technicians come to homes and businesses in Seascale and the surrounding area, so you do not need to take anything anywhere. Seascale is one of 438 towns and villages in Cumbria where we work. We work right across the region, from Seascale to Liverpool (about 72 miles away).
Jobs in CA20 are booked in the same way as anywhere else. That includes homes on Gosforth Road, Eskdale Avenue and Coniston Avenue and the roads around them. We also travel to Drigg (2 miles south-east), Gosforth (2 miles north-east), Holmrook (2 miles south-east), Calder Bridge (3 miles north) and Wellington (3 miles north-east).

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Seascale?
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
