Choosing a repair company

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Stainfield

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.

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

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

FAQs for Stainfield

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Stainfield, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Repairing versus replacing in Stainfield

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Stainfield. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
