Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ravenstown
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and wear marks under the taps, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ravenstown
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Wear marks under the taps
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Before you book anyone
- How to look after the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What affects the price in Ravenstown
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Ravenstown. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos

Ravenstown: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cumbria.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
Are there extra charges for Ravenstown?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave 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.
- 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 until the day after.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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 what we repair.
