Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ruloe?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Stains that will not shift
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long it needs to cure
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
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
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most customers in Ruloe get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
