Bath re-enamelling in Shorne Ridgeway without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We’re often asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coating lifting around the plughole, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Shorne Ridgeway. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we are called out for in Shorne Ridgeway
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Several chips and rust patches
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What preparation is included
Landlord and trade work in Shorne Ridgeway
For anyone letting property in or around Shorne Ridgeway, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shorne Ridgeway as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath that’s rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
