Bath re-enamelling at your home in Stidcot

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We are frequently asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Stidcot

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Stidcot questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Do you cover Stidcot?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Stidcot. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Stidcot

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Stidcot

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stidcot as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Roll-top and period baths

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

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re 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. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
