How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ruardean Hill

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are a roll-top that’s seen better days and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ruardean Hill

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you cover Ruardean Hill?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ruardean Hill. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in Ruardean Hill

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
