Bath re-enamelling near Ranfurly

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ranfurly

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a coating lifting around the plughole and thin, worn enamel in places.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Ranfurly. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Common problems we fix in Ranfurly

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
