About our bath re-enamelling in Troutbeck
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and chips and rust in more than one place, we can normally put it right, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Troutbeck. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Take a look at our pricing and bath cost comparison.
Landlord and trade work in Troutbeck
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
FAQs for Troutbeck
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What areas do you cover?
All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What affects the price in Troutbeck
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
What we are called out for in Troutbeck
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
Before booking anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- How soon you can use it again
- Aftercare advice
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
