Stirches questions

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Stirches?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you work in Stirches?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Stirches. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Stirches is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Stirches

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Why repair rather than replace?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Stirches. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Stirches

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Questions to ask before booking

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Stirches, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  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

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
