Bath re-enamelling in Stilton, done in place

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We’re frequently asked to fix several chips and rust patches and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Stilton as everywhere else we work.

Stilton questions

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

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

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

Materials we work on in Stilton

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

Common problems we fix in Stilton

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

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

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Several chips and rust patches

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

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