Bath re-enamelling for Stambourne Green homes

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

About our bath re-enamelling in Stambourne Green

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Common problems we fix in Stambourne Green

Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Stambourne Green

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. 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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
