Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stone Cross use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Stone Cross
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We’re often asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and a coating lifting around the plughole, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
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 generally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Stone Cross
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Several chips and rust patches
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Repair or replace in Stone Cross?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What affects the price in Stone Cross
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Stone Cross. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
We don’t 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.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
