Bath re-enamelling in Rishworth without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and staining under the taps and around the waste, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What affects the price in Rishworth
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
Most clients in Rishworth get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. 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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Common questions in Rishworth
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What else we do in Rishworth
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Work done at your home or business

Common problems we fix in Rishworth
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Before booking anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Get any chip repaired quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
