Trusted bath re-enamelling in Ryton-on-Dunsmore

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ryton-on-Dunsmore

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, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you’re dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and chips and rust in more than one place, we can usually put it right, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Common questions in Ryton-on-Dunsmore

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Do you work in Ryton-on-Dunsmore?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ryton-on-Dunsmore for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CV8 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Ryton-on-Dunsmore

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Several chips and rust patches

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled
