Bath re-enamelling in Rishangles without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and worn patches where water runs and sits.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What else we do in Rishangles
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Questions to ask before you book

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What aftercare is recommended
Rishangles questions
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
