Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

About our bath re-enamelling in Stokeham

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are thin, worn enamel in places and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Stokeham: your questions answered

Do you come to Stokeham?

We do. We send a technician to Stokeham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire 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 price the job the same day in most cases.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What we are called out for in Stokeham

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

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.
