We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared.

What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we’re called out for in Ryal Fold
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Wear marks under the taps
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What to look for in a quote
- How to look after the finish
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath split right through the body
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Should you replace it?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ryal Fold. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why Ryal Fold customers choose us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Common questions in Ryal Fold
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you cover Ryal Fold?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ryal Fold and the rest of Blackburn with Darwen. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
