About our bath re-enamelling in Ringlestone
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We’re often asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a roll-top that’s seen better days, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Ringlestone: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Ringlestone. Prices do not change with location.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What else we do in Ringlestone
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

When to call us in Ringlestone
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before you book

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Ringlestone. What changes the price is:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
