Bath re-enamelling at your home in Rich's Holford
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can usually put it right, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How to get a fixed price

Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
