Bath re-enamelling in Stockerston, done in place

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and wear marks under the taps, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Stockerston as everywhere else we work.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. 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 we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Stockerston

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will the new finish last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

When to call us in Stockerston

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the colour is matched

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. 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.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Store bottles off the bath

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stockerston

If you manage property in Stockerston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
