Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Tarraby, Cumbria
Bath re-enamelling in and around Tarraby: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Tarraby
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Tarraby. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you are in Tarraby and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Tarraby customers choose us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath split right through the body
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Tarraby
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How the colour is matched
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
