Bath re-enamelling in Ruddington without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we are called out for in Ruddington
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- How to look after the finish
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Never use suction bath mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

FAQs for Ruddington
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you cover Ruddington?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ruddington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What affects the price in Ruddington
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
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 quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
