Bath re-enamelling in Ringsfield Corner

Bath re-enamelling in Ringsfield Corner, done in place

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Questions from Ringsfield Corner

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Are there extra charges for Ringsfield Corner?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ringsfield Corner

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you’re in Ringsfield Corner and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
