Book bath re-enamelling in Stody

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Stody

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

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

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Common questions in Stody

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

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

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is there a guarantee?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths, ready the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works

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

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
