About our bath re-enamelling in Ridgeway

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you’re dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can generally put it right.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ridgeway as everywhere else we work.

FAQs for Ridgeway

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

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

What areas do you cover?

All of Sheffield, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most clients in Ridgeway get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Ridgeway

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, tidy-up included.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

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

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ridgeway?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who will actually do the work
