Bath re-enamelling in Stansted, done in place

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and thin, worn enamel in places.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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

FAQs for Stansted

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

Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Do you cover Stansted?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Stansted and the rest of Kent. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.

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.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

  • When it can be used again
  • How to look after the finish

Choosing a repair company

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Stansted

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
