About our bath re-enamelling in Ridgeway
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you’re dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can typically put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ridgeway
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Stains that will not shift
- Several chips and rust patches
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Wear marks under the taps

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Ridgeway?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can I get a quote without a visit?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Ridgeway
- Acrylic baths

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Repair or replace in Ridgeway?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
