Bath re-enamelling near Ranby

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ranby

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  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 until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Ranby questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

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 can work around your bookings.

Common problems we fix in Ranby

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. 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. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
