Bath re-enamelling for Stobswood homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Stobswood

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Stobswood and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Stobswood

Is there any odour?

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

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Stobswood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Cast iron

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

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price
