Bath re-enamelling in Ruskington without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and worn patches where water runs and sits.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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 will not last.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

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

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

What affects the price in Ruskington

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Ruskington questions

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Do you charge for travel?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it
