Bath re-enamelling near Stoke Aldermoor

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Bath re-enamelling in Stoke Aldermoor, done in place

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include several chips and rust patches and a coloured bath you want in white, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What affects the price in Stoke Aldermoor

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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 you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stoke Aldermoor

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.
