Repairing versus replacing in Stoke-upon-Trent

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stoke-upon-Trent. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Work done at your home or business

Bath re-enamelling in Stoke-upon-Trent, done in place

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and a coloured bath you want in white, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Stoke-upon-Trent and across Stoke-on-Trent.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stoke-upon-Trent

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stoke-upon-Trent use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
