Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Look out for these signs:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ulverston
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and lots of chips and rust spots, we can usually put it right, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ulverston
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cumbria.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you price it without visiting?

What affects the price in Ulverston
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ulverston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Repair or replace in Ulverston?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- No need to remove anything
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
