Stoke questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Stoke?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your PL2 postcode.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

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

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Bath re-enamelling in Stoke, done in place

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you’re dealing with stains that won’t shift and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we’re called out for in Stoke

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
