About our bath re-enamelling in Ripple
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and a coloured bath you want in white.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Ripple, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Ripple
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
When to call us in Ripple
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Look out for any of the following:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Comparing quotes
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- When it can be used again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

FAQs for Ripple
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover Ripple?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Ripple from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Ripple
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Have chips seen to early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
