About our bath re-enamelling in Vickerstown
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Vickerstown and across Cumbria.

Common problems we fix in Vickerstown
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Several chips and rust patches
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How to look after the finish
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays

- Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Have chips seen to early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
