Bath re-enamelling in Stawell

About our bath re-enamelling in Stawell

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are

Stawell questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you cover the whole of Somerset?

All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

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 whether it can be repaired.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Stawell

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

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.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Stawell?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Wear marks under the taps

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
