Bath re-enamelling at your home in Stoke Park

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you’re dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help.

What affects the price in Stoke Park

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Stoke Park, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a full day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  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 next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Repair or replace: which is better?

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 are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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 book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

FAQs for Stoke Park

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

How long is the bath unusable?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do you hold any accreditations?
