DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ripley
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We’re often asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Ripley and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ripley
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you work in Ripley?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Ripley from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ripley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BH23 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Ripley?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Landlord and trade work in Ripley
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Common problems we fix in Ripley
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Before booking anyone
- How your room will be protected
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find more damage
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
