Bath re-enamelling for Staplow homes

Bath re-enamelling in Staplow, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common problems we fix in Staplow

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Staplow. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Staplow

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Staplow. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

FAQs for Staplow

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

Can you change the colour of my bath?

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

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
