Repairing versus replacing in Ratcliffe on Soar

Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Bath re-enamelling in Ratcliffe on Soar without replacing anything
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and several chips and rust patches, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ratcliffe on Soar and across Nottingham.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths

What else we do in Ratcliffe on Soar
What affects the price in Ratcliffe on Soar
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ratcliffe on Soar. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from pictures 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, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ratcliffe on Soar: your questions answered
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ratcliffe on Soar?
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How your room will be protected
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
