Bath re-enamelling at your home in Stondon Massey

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and wear marks under the taps, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Should you replace it?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Stondon Massey questions

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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 several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Stondon Massey?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
