Bath re-enamelling in Soulby without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an outdated colour you’d like to change and stains that won’t shift.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What we’re called out for in Soulby
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Have chips seen to early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

FAQs for Soulby
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you come to Soulby?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Soulby from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Soulby?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
