About our bath re-enamelling in Ruchill
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Repairs by material
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.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Ruchill: your questions answered
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
When to call us in Ruchill
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Ruchill. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ruchill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Have chips seen to early
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
