Bath re-enamelling in Winder, done in place

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We are often asked to fix enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and thin, worn enamel in places, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

FAQs for Winder

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?

All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
