Bath re-enamelling at your home in Rhodes Minnis
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you’re dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and wear marks under the taps, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Questions from Rhodes Minnis
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Are there extra charges for Rhodes Minnis?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Landlord and trade work in Rhodes Minnis
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath split right through the body
- Holes rusted through the metal

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- 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.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What affects the price in Rhodes Minnis
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Rhodes Minnis?
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- Stains that will not shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A coloured bath you want in white
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
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.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repairing versus replacing in Rhodes Minnis
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
