Bath re-enamelling in Tebay without replacing anything
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you are dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and wear marks under the taps, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Common problems we fix in Tebay
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What your quote should include

- What happens if they find more damage
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid suction-cup mats
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Questions from Tebay
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
