Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ripley
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and wear marks under the taps.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey.

Questions from Ripley
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you cover the whole of Surrey?
All of Surrey, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
We don’t add 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.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
- A bath that is rusted through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Should you replace it?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Everything repaired in place
- We leave the room as we found it
- A fixed quote before booking

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ripley?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
