- 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.

About our bath re-enamelling in East Ravendale
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

When to call us in East Ravendale
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coloured bath you want in white
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is matched
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What protection goes down before work starts
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in East Ravendale, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
