Need bath re-enamelling in Stoke Heath?

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

Materials we work on in Stoke Heath

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

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Stoke Heath

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Stoke Heath as everywhere else we work.

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

FAQs for Stoke Heath

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

How long is the bath unusable?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

What do you need from me?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Landlord and trade work in Stoke Heath

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Stoke Heath. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

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.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day. 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. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TF9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
