Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Bath re-enamelling in Ravensthorpe without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We are often asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and worn patches where water runs and sits, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- 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.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Should you replace it?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common questions in Ravensthorpe
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ravensthorpe?
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
