Bath re-enamelling for Stixwould homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Stixwould

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Materials we work on in Stixwould

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Stixwould. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Stixwould, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

FAQs for Stixwould

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

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Stixwould?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
