Bath re-enamelling in Stainforth

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

About our bath re-enamelling in Stainforth

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you’re dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Stainforth, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Stainforth?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to care for the finish
  • How the colour is matched
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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

Questions from Stainforth

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Stainforth and the rest of Doncaster. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you cover Stainforth?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Stainforth for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
