Bath re-enamelling at your home in Rickarton
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We’re often asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Landlord and trade work in Rickarton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rickarton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, 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
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Rickarton questions
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Rickarton

- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes most of the day. We leave the room clean.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
