Bath re-enamelling in Stoke Trister

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Bath re-enamelling in Stoke Trister, done in place

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We’re often asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace in Stoke Trister?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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

What we cannot put right

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

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Stoke Trister

  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

Common problems we fix in Stoke Trister

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Stoke Trister

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole bath

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 photos.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Stoke Trister: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
