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

What we work on

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

About our bath re-enamelling in Stondon

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We are frequently asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  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

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Stondon?

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

How to look after the repair

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

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What affects the price in Stondon

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Stondon

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Stondon is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace in Stondon?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. We do not add 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.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
