- Your postcode, so we can check dates

Should you replace it?

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting.

What else we do in Riverside
Questions from Riverside
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
