Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ratten Row
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and an outdated colour you’d like to change, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ratten Row
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lancashire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For anyone letting property in or around Ratten Row, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry

Advice
FAQs for Ratten Row
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Are there extra charges for Ratten Row?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Ratten Row?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PR3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When to call us in Ratten Row
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- One visit for most repairs
