Bath re-enamelling near Chesterton

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Chesterton

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Chesterton questions

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

Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

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

We cover the entire UK, including Chesterton and the rest of Stoke-on-Trent. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Chesterton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Repair dripping taps early

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you are in Chesterton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Chesterton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Repairing versus replacing in Chesterton

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Take a look at our prices page or bath cost comparison.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

Common problems we fix in Chesterton

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
