Need bath re-enamelling in Ryther?

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a full day.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Bath re-enamelling in Ryther, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We’re frequently asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Repairs by material

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.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Ryther. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ryther

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

For anyone letting property in or around Ryther, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ryther

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of North Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

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

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

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.

Do you come to Ryther?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ryther?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Questions to ask before booking

  • How to care for the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Ryther

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ryther. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
