  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

About our bath re-enamelling in Stanningfield

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are an outdated colour you’d like to change and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace in Stanningfield?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area

See our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Stanningfield?

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Stains that will not shift
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Stanningfield

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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