Bath re-enamelling in Stainton with Adgarley

Bath re-enamelling in Stainton with Adgarley, done in place

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you’re dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and chips and rust in more than one place, we can typically put it right, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Why repair rather than replace?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Stainton with Adgarley?

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

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.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Stainton with Adgarley questions

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
