How we handle bath re-enamelling in Stone Street

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are wear marks under the taps and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

What we are called out for in Stone Street

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What your bath is made of matters

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 the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Stone Street. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Stone Street: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Repairing versus replacing in Stone Street

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

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

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What we can’t put right

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

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
