Frequently asked questions

Q - Can you resurface our Acrylic bath?
A - This depends on the condition of the bath. Please ring us to discuss your particular requirements.

Q - What is the life-span of a resurfaced bath?
A - By adhering to our After-Care advice and given reasonable usage, baths can last up to ten years and even more.

Q - What is the difference between resurfacing and re-enamelling?
A - When re-enamelling the bath it has to be taken off site to be fired in a kiln at 800 degrees Centigrade. This is the only way to re-enamel. If you see an ad saying re-enamelling in situ be very careful. For more information try www.ive.org.uk.

Q - How do I decide between Resurfacing and Polishing?
A - Polishing should not be seen as a substitute for Resurfacing. Generally speaking a bath that needs to be polished will have less wear and damage than a bath that needs to be resurfaced.

Q - How long before you can use the bath?
A - This depends on the service you are buying, see 3, 4, 5 Star options.

Q - Can I change the colour of my bath from a colour to white or white to a colour?
A – Yes, please see the colour matching section for our range of 24 pre-mixed colours and Match & Mix service.

Q - Shall I have a Renubath treatment at the beginning or the end of my bathroom refurbishment?
A – As a general rule, all Renubath treatments should be undertaken after all other works are complete, such as tiling or decorating or any plumbing work. The single exception is the application of a mastic sealant around the bath, which can be applied by a Renubath operator in most cases, after the bath has been treated.

Q - Can you replace taps and waste for us?
A – That is a plumber's job – but some of our offices can re-seat and re-washer taps if necessary.

Q - Is Renubath a Nationwide Service?
A – We have six offices and aim to cover all parts of the country, excluding Northern Ireland.

Q - Can we still wash the dog in the bath?
A – Dogs have sharp claws which will scratch the surface. That’s probably why you’re getting the bath resurfaced now.
