Bath re-enamelling in Risinghurst without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. If you are dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can generally put it right, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What affects the price in Risinghurst

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Risinghurst. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your OX3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Risinghurst

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Risinghurst questions

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
