Need bath re-enamelling in The Green?

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 a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Bath re-enamelling in The Green, done in place

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in The Green

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 matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Common questions in The Green

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Do you come to The Green?

We do. We send a technician to The Green for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your LA18 postcode.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we are called out for in The Green

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Before booking anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a full day for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
