Bath re-enamelling in Rippingale without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and worn patches where water runs and sits, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Common questions in Rippingale
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PE10 postcode.
Do you cover Rippingale?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Rippingale. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you are in Rippingale and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
