Bath re-enamelling at your home in Riby
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. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a roll-top that’s seen better days, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day. Prices start from £350. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Riby: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Riby
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Riby use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Riby?
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Chips and rust in more than one place

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, 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 clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
