Bath re-enamelling near Stanghow

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

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.

About our bath re-enamelling in Stanghow

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about lots of chips and rust spots and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Common questions in Stanghow

Do you cover the entire of Redcar and Cleveland?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Stanghow. Prices do not change with location.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Stanghow

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

What your quote should include

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Stanghow

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Stanghow. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Store bottles off the bath

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
