How we handle bath re-enamelling in Rufford
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are lots of chips and rust spots and staining under the taps and around the waste.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Rufford
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How to look after the finish

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Rufford
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Rufford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Questions from Rufford
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you come to Rufford?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Rufford and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
