How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ryecroft

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Ryecroft and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ryecroft

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Ryecroft and the rest of Greater Manchester. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

When to call us in Ryecroft

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Look out for these signs:

Lots of chips and rust spots
Thin, worn enamel in places
An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

How to compare quotes

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

The size and number of damaged areas
What the surface is made of
Whether we combine several jobs
How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

Natural light rather than flash
Any earlier repairs or coatings
A wider photo showing the entire bath
Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
