Bath re-enamelling for Ratcliffe Culey homes

Bath re-enamelling in Ratcliffe Culey, done in place

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. If you are dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can normally put it right, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Ratcliffe Culey questions

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Will the new finish last?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What we are called out for in Ratcliffe Culey

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Ratcliffe Culey. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Materials we repair
