Bath re-enamelling in Ravenstruther

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ravenstruther

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a coating lifting around the plughole.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ravenstruther. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Choosing a repair company

Ravenstruther: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ravenstruther

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Repair or replace in Ravenstruther?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

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 typically the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
