Bath re-enamelling at your home in Stanks

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and lots of chips and rust spots.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leeds.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

Stanks: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

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

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

When to call us in Stanks

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Stanks, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath that is rusted through

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

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building 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.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
