Landlords, agents and businesses in Mavesyn Ridware

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Bath re-enamelling in Mavesyn Ridware, done in place

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and a coating lifting around the plughole, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Staffordshire.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A metal bath with a through crack

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Mavesyn Ridware. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Mavesyn Ridware, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Mavesyn Ridware

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a full day.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Mavesyn Ridware questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
