Bath re-enamelling in Rainow without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are several chips and rust patches and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Rainow as everywhere else we work.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Rainow. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Rainow, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repairing versus replacing in Rainow
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Colour-matched on site
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One price list for the whole UK

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Rainow
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Are there extra charges for Rainow?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
