Bath re-enamelling at your home in Stockton-on-Tees

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 following day. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

When to call us in Stockton-on-Tees

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TS19 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Stockton-on-Tees

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Stockton-on-Tees
