Trusted bath re-enamelling in Ravensthorpe

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ravensthorpe

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Ravensthorpe

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ravensthorpe

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you cover Ravensthorpe?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Ravensthorpe and the rest of Kirklees. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

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.

Will the new finish last?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

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.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice

How we price bath re-enamelling

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Ravensthorpe, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
