Bath Re-enamelling for Rudmore homes
Local bath re-enamelling for Rudmore: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Several chips and rust patches
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
About our bath re-enamelling in Rudmore
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coating lifting around the plughole, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Never use suction bath mats
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rudmore use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- 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 generally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Holes rusted through the metal
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
