Bath re-enamelling for Bucknall homes

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bucknall

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Bucknall

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you cover the entire of Stoke-on-Trent?

We work UK-wide, so Bucknall is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Related advice

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Bucknall?

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Comparing quotes

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A metal bath with a through crack

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

What we work on

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

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

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

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
