About our bath re-enamelling in Richmond Hill
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Richmond Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
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’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Common questions in Richmond Hill
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Richmond Hill?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you cover Richmond Hill?
We do. Technicians travel to Richmond Hill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
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.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Repair or replace in Richmond Hill?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Landlord and trade work in Richmond Hill
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.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
