Bath re-enamelling at your home in Richards Castle
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and a coating lifting around the plughole.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Richards Castle: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Richards Castle?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the 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 without visiting.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Richards Castle
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if they find more damage

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Shropshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
