Bath re-enamelling for Stafford homes

Bath re-enamelling in Stafford, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. If you are dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Questions from Stafford

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will the new finish last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Staffordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What information do you need?

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

Repair or replace in Stafford?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stafford as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When to call us in Stafford

Often the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if they find more damage

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
