Bath re-enamelling in Ridsdale, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a coloured bath you want in white and chips and rust in more than one place.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Have chips seen to early
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A metal bath with a through crack

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Ridsdale: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
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.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
