Ripon questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Ripon included. Travel is included in the price.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Bath re-enamelling in Ripon without replacing anything
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. If you are dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can typically put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Advice
When to call us in Ripon
Often the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
Look out for any of the following:
- Stains that won’t shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who will actually do the work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Ripon. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, 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
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most clients in Ripon get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A bath that is rusted through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
