About our bath re-enamelling in Ridgewell
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a full day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- 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 typically be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice
Ridgewell: your questions answered
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Are there extra charges for Ridgewell?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Common problems we fix in Ridgewell
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Clients typically contact us about:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
