Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Riseden
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We are often asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and staining under the taps and around the waste, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

FAQs for Riseden
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TN17 postcode.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What affects the price in Riseden
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Riseden. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
