How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ridley
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you are dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ridley
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ridley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common problems we fix in Ridley
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Stains that won’t shift
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Thin, worn enamel in places
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Store bottles off the bath
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Ridley questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you come to Ridley?
We do. We send a technician to Ridley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What affects the price in Ridley
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Ridley, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
