Bath re-enamelling for Staveley homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Staveley

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Staveley

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Staveley

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Staveley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Read our pricing and bath cost comparison.

Honest limits

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
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Staveley

Staveley questions

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Staveley?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your S43 postcode.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

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.
