Bath re-enamelling at your home in Raffles
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a coating lifting around the plughole and lots of chips and rust spots.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Raffles
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
What affects the price in Raffles
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we are called out for in Raffles
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Look out for any of the following:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Stains that will not shift
- Thin, worn enamel in places

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Raffles
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Raffles: your questions answered
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Raffles?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
