Bath re-enamelling in Ribby without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you’re dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and stains that won’t shift, we can usually put it right.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.

Common problems we fix in Ribby
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What affects the price in Ribby
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
FAQs for Ribby
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you come to Ribby?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Ribby from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
