Bath Re-enamelling for Rapps homes

Bath re-enamelling in Rapps, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Rapps and across Somerset.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Common problems we fix in Rapps
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Questions to ask before booking
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Rapps
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you cover the entire of Somerset?
We cover the entire UK, including Rapps and the rest of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Rapps
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
