Bath re-enamelling in Ropsley, done in place

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and lots of chips and rust spots.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Ropsley

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Are there extra charges for Ropsley?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ropsley

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Comparing quotes

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What affects the price in Ropsley

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ropsley. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
