About our bath re-enamelling in Ribbleton
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and wear marks under the taps.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops

Ribbleton questions
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Are there extra charges for Ribbleton?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Lancashire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
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.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ribbleton?
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An old resurfacing that is failing

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We do not add 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.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
