About our bath re-enamelling in Rickleton
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Common questions in Rickleton
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Rickleton?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Customers normally contact us about:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A coloured bath you want in white
