About our bath re-enamelling in Ridgeway

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and chips and rust in more than one place.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

FAQs for Ridgeway

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Ridgeway?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your NP20 postcode.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Landlord and trade work in Ridgeway

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Repair dripping taps early

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairing versus replacing in Ridgeway

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
