What affects the price in Ruscombe

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price.

About our bath re-enamelling in Ruscombe

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about chips and rust in more than one place and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What we’re called out for in Ruscombe

Often the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Comparing quotes

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before booking

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Ruscombe clients choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business

FAQs for Ruscombe

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Wokingham, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.
