About our bath re-enamelling in Ringshall Stocks
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can typically put it right, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
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 to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Ringshall Stocks: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you cover Ringshall Stocks?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ringshall Stocks for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ringshall Stocks
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
- How your room will be protected
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Have chips seen to early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
