Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Ruswarp, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ruswarp
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
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.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Ruswarp, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Ruswarp, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ruswarp as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
When to call us in Ruswarp
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Respect the curing time we give you
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
