Trusted bath re-enamelling in Staunton in the Vale

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 re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Bath re-enamelling in Staunton in the Vale without replacing anything

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a full day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common problems we fix in Staunton in the Vale

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Several chips and rust patches

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

FAQs for Staunton in the Vale

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you come to Staunton in the Vale?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Staunton in the Vale for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Landlord and trade work in Staunton in the Vale

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

If you manage property in Staunton in the Vale, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

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

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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