Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

About our bath re-enamelling in Redstocks

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Common questions in Redstocks

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

What areas do you cover?

All of Wiltshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

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

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

Repair or replace in Redstocks?

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Redstocks

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

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