Bath re-enamelling for Staplecross homes

Staplecross: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Bath re-enamelling in Staplecross without replacing anything

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Staplecross

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

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.

Repair or replace in Staplecross?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
