Bath re-enamelling in Stoke Bruerne

Bath re-enamelling in Stoke Bruerne, done in place

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and a coloured bath you want in white, we can normally put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stoke Bruerne

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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

When to call us in Stoke Bruerne

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Stoke Bruerne questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

What affects the price in Stoke Bruerne

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
