DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

About our bath re-enamelling in North Stainley

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. We are often asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and lots of chips and rust spots, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. 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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why North Stainley clients choose us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What we are called out for in North Stainley

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Are you accredited?

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
