- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Bath re-enamelling in The Rigg, done in place
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and wear marks under the taps, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in The Rigg?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your KA18 postcode.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
Most clients in The Rigg get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
