How we handle bath re-enamelling in East Ruston
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Common call-outs are for wear marks under the taps and staining under the taps and around the waste, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
East Ruston questions
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Are there extra charges for East Ruston?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you cover East Ruston?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to East Ruston. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Common problems we fix in East Ruston
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- Stains that won’t shift
- Wear marks under the taps
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Before booking anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A bath that is rusted through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths

- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.

- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
