Bath re-enamelling at your home in Stoke

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you’re dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derbyshire.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath split right through the body

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

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Stoke. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in Stoke

Do you come to Stoke?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Stoke from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

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.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Stoke. Our prices are the same everywhere.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

When to call us in Stoke

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 coloured bath you want in white
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Repairing versus replacing in Stoke

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
