Bath re-enamelling in Stanton St Bernard

Bath re-enamelling in Stanton St Bernard without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We are frequently asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and several chips and rust patches, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Repair or replace in Stanton St Bernard?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Stanton St Bernard questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

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 it’s guaranteed for a year.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Respect the curing time we give you

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

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

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

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we are called out for in Stanton St Bernard

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
