About our bath re-enamelling in East Stoke

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can typically put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months in East Stoke and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in East Stoke

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

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

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in East Stoke?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your BH20 postcode.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in East Stoke

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we’re called out for in East Stoke

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
