Common questions in Stape
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Stape
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s wear marks under the taps and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice
Landlord and trade work in Stape
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Repair dripping taps early
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

When to call us in Stape
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
Look out for any of the following:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Stains that won’t shift
- Wear marks under the taps
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in Stape
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Stape. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Stape. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
