Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ridge
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can generally put it right, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Ridge
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repairing versus replacing in Ridge
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ridge
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Questions from Ridge
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Are there extra charges for Ridge?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
