Bath re-enamelling near Stocker's Head

Bath re-enamelling in Stocker's Head without replacing anything

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and stains that won’t shift.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t 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.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Stocker's Head. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you’re in Stocker's Head and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Advice

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Stocker's Head

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
