Bath Re-enamelling for Ratling homes
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Ratling, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ratling
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, so we don’t cut corners on it. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit 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, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Should you replace it?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Landlord and trade work in Ratling
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Steel that has corroded right through

- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ratling
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
