Bath re-enamelling in Stancombe, done in place

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can normally put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Stancombe?

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Stancombe

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stancombe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

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

Materials we work on in Stancombe

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Common questions in Stancombe

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I have to be there?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Do you cover the entire of Gloucestershire?

We work UK-wide, so Stancombe is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

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

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
