About our bath re-enamelling in Rake
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are worn patches where water runs and sits and lots of chips and rust spots.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Common questions in Rake
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Rake?
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Thin, worn enamel in places

Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What affects the price in Rake
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
