How we handle bath re-enamelling in Rivenhall
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. If you are dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common problems we fix in Rivenhall
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Lots of chips and rust spots

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Common questions in Rivenhall
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Are there extra charges for Rivenhall?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
What areas do you cover?

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Store bottles off the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
