- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Raglan
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and thin, worn enamel in places.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Raglan use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Raglan questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Raglan?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Several chips and rust patches
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
