How we handle bath re-enamelling in Rhigos
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Never use suction bath mats
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Rhigos: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Rhigos?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What we’re called out for in Rhigos
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- If travel is included in the price
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
