Bath re-enamelling in Ripley, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Never use suction bath mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Common problems we fix in Ripley
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Ripley. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Common questions in Ripley
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you work in Ripley?
We do. We send a technician to Ripley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
The process
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Ripley, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
