What affects the price in Stoford

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Repair or replace in Stoford?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Stoford: your questions answered

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Common problems we fix in Stoford

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Questions to ask before booking

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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