How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ridgeway

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. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Landlord and trade work in Ridgeway

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ridgeway as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What we are called out for in Ridgeway

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
