Bath re-enamelling for Stone Street homes

Bath re-enamelling in Stone Street, done in place

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Stone Street clients choose us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Stone Street: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Stone Street, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Stone Street

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
