Bath re-enamelling near Great Stambridge

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Bath re-enamelling in Great Stambridge, done in place

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you are dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can usually put it right, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Common problems we fix in Great Stambridge

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.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

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

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Great Stambridge. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
