Bath re-enamelling in Rattlesden, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We are frequently asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and a coloured bath you want in white, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Rattlesden
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Rattlesden
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long it needs to cure
Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Rattlesden. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Have chips seen to early
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
