Bath re-enamelling in Ranworth without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and worn patches where water runs and sits, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Ranworth. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ranworth

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ranworth

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairing versus replacing in Ranworth

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
