About our bath re-enamelling in Ruislip Gardens
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Never use suction bath mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Ruislip Gardens. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Landlord and trade work in Ruislip Gardens
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ruislip Gardens use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
