Bath re-enamelling near Stitchcombe

Bath re-enamelling in Stitchcombe, done in place

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you are dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Stitchcombe

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will the bath be moved?

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

How long is the bath unusable?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not 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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Stitchcombe

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
