When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Stanton St John

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you work in Stanton St John?

We do. Technicians travel to Stanton St John from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will the bath be moved?

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

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Landlord and trade work in Stanton St John

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oxfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Should you replace it?

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 entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Store bottles off the bath

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

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

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
