How we handle bath re-enamelling in Workington
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We are frequently asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and worn patches where water runs and sits, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Workington: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Common problems we fix in Workington
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
- How changes to the job are handled
Repairing versus replacing in Workington
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a full day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath that is rusted through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
