Bath re-enamelling in Risby, done in place
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Risby and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Risby, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes the best part of a day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Risby
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One price list for the entire UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 typically cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we’re called out for in Risby
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Common reasons people in Risby contact us are:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
