Book bath re-enamelling in Stoer

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Stoer

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and worn patches where water runs and sits, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Stoer

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

FAQs for Stoer

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

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

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Can you quote from photos?

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

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Highland, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

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

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Stoer

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your IV27 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
