Bath re-enamelling in Tallentire, done in place
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Tallentire and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath that is rusted through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Questions from Tallentire
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Tallentire and the rest of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Tallentire, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
