Bath re-enamelling in Stanford on Soar

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Stanford on Soar

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What affects the price in Stanford on Soar

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Stanford on Soar. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Questions from Stanford on Soar

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Stanford on Soar?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
