Bath re-enamelling near Stockland

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Bath re-enamelling in Stockland without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about several chips and rust patches and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Stockland questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens after I send photos?

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

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

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stockland

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  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. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Stockland

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Stains that will not shift

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Stockland

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
