Why repair rather than replace?

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 usually wins. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

About our bath re-enamelling in Stannington

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. If you’re dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can usually put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

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

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Stannington

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Questions from Stannington

Is the work guaranteed?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

What affects the price in Stannington

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Stannington. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire bath

Most clients in Stannington get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
