Book bath re-enamelling in Stoke Abbott

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

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

About our bath re-enamelling in Stoke Abbott

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and wear marks under the taps, we can typically put it right, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stoke Abbott

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Stoke Abbott. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Stoke Abbott

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

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

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Honest limits

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

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

What we work on

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

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
