Bath re-enamelling in Stoke Heath

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath re-enamelling in Stoke Heath without replacing anything

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for thin, worn enamel in places and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

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.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Stoke Heath. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Stoke Heath. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What we are called out for in Stoke Heath

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the entire UK

FAQs for Stoke Heath

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you cover Stoke Heath?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Stoke Heath. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Landlord and trade work in Stoke Heath

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
