Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Questions from Rushmere
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

When to call us in Rushmere
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Lots of chips and rust spots

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Have chips seen to early
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- One price list for the whole UK
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Rushmere. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
