Bath re-enamelling near Poundstock

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Poundstock

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and worn patches where water runs and sits, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Poundstock

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

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

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Poundstock questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Poundstock included. Travel is included in the price.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Why repair rather than replace?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Common problems we fix in Poundstock

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Wear marks under the taps

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
