How we handle bath re-enamelling in Rafford

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. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, whatever the material.

Rafford questions

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you cover Rafford?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Rafford and the rest of Moray. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Rafford

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

Look out for these signs:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Rafford, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What affects the price in Rafford

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
