Book bath re-enamelling in Ranton

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Ranton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Ranton

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

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

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

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ranton?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Questions from Ranton

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you cover Ranton?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Ranton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
