Bath re-enamelling at your home in Winscales
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are worn patches where water runs and sits and a coloured bath you want in white.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Winscales and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Winscales as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

Winscales: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Winscales?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Winscales. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
