Bath re-enamelling for Rylstone homes

Bath re-enamelling in Rylstone without replacing anything

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We are frequently asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Materials we work on in Rylstone

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

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Rylstone questions

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

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

Which areas do you work in?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Rylstone

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rylstone use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Have chips seen to early

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

What affects the price in Rylstone

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Rylstone. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you’re in Rylstone and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
