Trusted bath re-enamelling in Ridlington Street

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top 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.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ridlington Street

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We are frequently asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Repairing versus replacing in Ridlington Street

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ridlington Street. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Ridlington Street: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will the new finish last?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Ridlington Street included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
