About our bath re-enamelling in Stechford

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and several chips and rust patches, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What we are called out for in Stechford

Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Stechford: your questions answered

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Do you cover Stechford?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Stechford. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Stechford. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
