Bath re-enamelling in Ryde, done in place
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you’re dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ryde and across Isle of Wight.

FAQs for Ryde
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do you come to Ryde?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ryde and the rest of Isle of Wight. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your PO33 postcode.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Have chips seen to early
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace: which is better?

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
