About our bath re-enamelling in Red Post Bridge
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about stains that won’t shift and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
Most clients in Red Post Bridge get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What else we do in Red Post Bridge
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Landlord and trade work in Red Post Bridge
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Red Post Bridge, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Common problems we fix in Red Post Bridge
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places

FAQs for Red Post Bridge
Is repairing better than replacing?

Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Red Post Bridge for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
