Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Common questions in Ryton
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ryton?
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:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Wear marks under the taps
