Bath re-enamelling in Ranby without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about an old resurfacing that’s failing and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Ranby
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
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.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Repairing versus replacing in Ranby
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Ranby: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Ranby.
