Bath re-enamelling for Stoke Bardolph homes

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath re-enamelling in Stoke Bardolph, done in place

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stoke Bardolph

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stoke Bardolph as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace in Stoke Bardolph?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

FAQs for Stoke Bardolph

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

When to call us in Stoke Bardolph

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Look out for these signs:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Stains that won’t shift

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a full day.

  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

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 check it carefully.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
