Bath re-enamelling in Rift House without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and thin, worn enamel in places, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

What affects the price in Rift House
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Rift House. The price comes down to:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
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.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
